Challenges in Utilities Security and Critical Infrastructure Protection

Securing utilities and critical infrastructure sites presents unique and complex challenges due to their dispersed locations, increasing cyber threats, and the pressure for uninterrupted service delivery.

  • Compliance Requirements
    Preparing for audits and ensuring regulatory compliance is resource intensive, diverting focus from operational tasks.
  • Inefficient Access Management
    Managing site access for both staff and contractors is a time-consuming and error-prone process.
  • Legacy Systems
    Manual security processes, legacy systems, and siloed platforms struggle to keep pace with modern threats and regulatory demands.
  • Risk of Downtime
    Outages create significant security vulnerabilities that expose critical assets, leading to costly service disruptions and threatening operational continuity.
