New Whitepaper: Critical Infrastructure Protection
Defending Critical Cyber Assets with SecureWorks
As an integral part of the critical infrastructure supporting North America, energy companies provide power services that are vital to the daily lives of millions of businesses and individuals. Outages in the power grid can have a significant - perhaps even catastrophic - impact on the ability of governments, industries and the general population to function effectively. Because of this, reliability in the critical infrastructure that generates, stores and distributes power is tantamount.
To ensure reliability, the Critical Cyber Assets used to control and manage critical infrastructure must be protected. Similar to enterprises in other industries, energy companies face threats posed by botnets, malware and cybercrime. However, energy companies also face threats such as industrial espionage and sabotage not only from individual bad actors but also from nation-states who seek the ability to control or disrupt critical infrastructure.
This whitepaper will discuss two key areas of concern for energy companies. The first, Securing SCADA Networks, will focus on challenges involved in securing control system networks and how SecureWorks helps address those challenges. The second, Addressing NERC CIP Cyber Security Standards, will review the CIP standards and ways SecureWorks can help energy companies satisfy compliance requirements.
This whitepaper will provide the reader with an understanding of the security and compliance challenges faced by energy companies and how SecureWorks helps them to protect their critical cyber assets.
