DescriptionThe energy industry is now among the top three industries reporting cyber-attacks and whilst Energy companies have been tackling IT security for several decades, a more recent growing, and increasingly urgent challenge, is now securing operational technology (OT).
As OT becomes more networked and connected to IT systems, attackers can more easily access control systems operating critical infrastructure, disrupting energy supply in a power grid, shutting down wind farms, or disabling safety systems in pipelines, refineries or oil and gas platforms.
Here at DNV, we are working to help industry accelerate the cyber safety engineering of energy industry infrastructure, in the UK and beyond. Our growing team works with a range of stakeholders across the energy value chain to provide independent technical and market advice to make informed decisions. We work with investors, OEMs, operators, electricity and gas networks, renewable energy industries, governments and transportation sectors, on a range of challenging and fast paced projects.
Security matters – What we do matters. Together, we’re creating a legacy for future generations.
