Security Challenges in the Energy Industry
The energy sector operates critical, highly distributed infrastructure that is increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyber attacks. Successful breaches can cause prolonged downtime, financial losses, regulatory fines, and lasting reputational damage – impacting customer trust and national security.
The Most Common Cyber Threats
Attacks on Critical Infrastructure
Well-resourced actors target energy assets to disrupt essential services or pursue geopolitical goals.
Highly Distributed Infrastructure
Even short-term outages at a single site can have cascading, catastrophic consequences.
Rising Frequency of Attacks
The energy sector is the fourth-most attacked industry, accounting for 10.7% of all cyber incidents.
Cost of Cybercrime
Cybercrime costs the sector billions annually, with the average data breach costing $4.72 million per incident.
