One Breach Can Black Out a Nation

In the energy and utilities sector, availability is everything—and vulnerability is everywhere. Ageing SCADA systems, isolated OT environments, and fragmented infrastructure leave organisations exposed to cyber threats, regulatory fines and operational disruption.

Many organisations still rely on legacy control systems that lack visibility, vendor support or integration with modern cloud and analytics platforms. With growing regulatory and environmental pressures, firms are expected to innovate while maintaining uptime and controlling costs.

Meanwhile, cyberattacks on critical national infrastructure are rising in frequency and sophistication. With limited skills and budget, many providers lack the OT/IT security coverage, edge connectivity, and unified data strategies needed to stay secure, compliant and agile. One breach, one blackout, or one misstep can have national consequences.
