A report on #cybersecurity attacks against U.S. utilities shows an increase of 70% over last year. China, Russia and cybercriminal organizations have targeted energy and power utilities in the U.S. and potentially prepositioned advanced persistent threats on key operating systems. With power demand surging, utilities have moved quickly to meet the need, but cyber defenses have not kept pace. Another reminder that much work still needs to be done in partnership with industry to shore up this essential, critical #infrastructure sector. See the #reuters article.

🚨 Cyber Threat Alert 🚨 Attention all in the Energy and Utilities sector! 🛑 Did you know that cyber attacks have inflicted substantial losses on the energy and utilities sector in 2023-24?

A new joint study by SecurityScorecard and KPMG reveals that third-party vendors are the top cybersecurity threat to U.S. energy companies. Key findings: • 45% of security breaches in the U.S. energy sector were caused by third-party vendors. • 90% of companies with multiple breaches were vulnerable due to third-party risks. • 67% of third-party-related breaches involved external software and IT providers. The energy sector scored only a "B" on cybersecurity, with 19% of companies posing significant risk to the entire supply chain. Industry experts call for: • Collective defense approach • Operationalization of threat intelligence • More agile software update processes As Willy Leichter, CMO at AppSoc, states: "The industry must find more agile ways to decouple software updates from operational infrastructure." Let's discuss: How can energy companies better protect themselves and our critical infrastructure from these evolving cyber threats? #Cybersecurity #EnergySector #SupplyChainRisk #TechTrends

The 7th edition of Cyber Europe, one of the largest cybersecurity exercises in Europe, organised by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) challenged the resilience of the EU energy sector. Cybersecurity has become a growing threat gateway for the EU critical infrastructure sectors, as the number of cyberattacks has largely increased in recent years. In 2023 alone, over 200 reported cyber incidents targeted the energy sector and more than half of them were directed specifically at Europe. The significant role the sector holds for the European economy renders the energy industry particularly susceptible to cyber threats and attacks. #CyberEurope #EnergySectorSecurity #EUPreparedness #CyberResilience #EnergyCyberSecurity #PelionCyberSecurity #CyberDefenseEU

"Over the next five years, the key cybersecurity challenges facing the power and utilities sector will significantly intensify," says Benjamin Beberness, SVP for the Industry Business Units at Aspen Technology. Read the full article here! #Cyber #Energy #Utilities

Strengthening EU Cybersecurity in the Energy Sector The 7th edition of Cyber Europe, organized by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), recently tested the EU's cyber resilience in the energy sector. This large-scale exercise simulated sophisticated cyber attacks, emphasizing the importance of preparedness in protecting critical infrastructure. With over 200 reported incidents targeting the energy sector in 2023 alone, this initiative is crucial for ensuring the safety of both businesses and citizens. Collaborative efforts like these highlight the EU's commitment to cyber security. To read more about the exercise, and what occurred during it.
