Secure Your Success: Cyber Solutions for the Modern Energy and Utilities Provider
As the energy and utilities industry faces a multitude of new risks and challenges amidst an evolving threat and regulatory landscape, achieving operational resilience and protecting national infrastructure has never been more critical. However, barriers such as legacy technology and manual data processing can hinder efforts to enhance resilience and mitigate risk.
Data breaches pose a significant threat to companies in this sector, including substantial financial losses, reputational damage and regulatory penalties. To mitigate these risks, companies must implement robust cybersecurity measures such as multi-factor authentication, encryption and continuous monitoring. Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments are essential, along with a comprehensive incident response plan to effectively manage breaches.
SCC’s Retained Incident Response (IR) service is available 24/7/365, delivered by a dedicated team accredited by NCSC, providing a full spectrum of legal, compliance and communication services. Establishing a Retainer for IR ensures that we can promptly mobilise our experienced IR team, who are already familiar with your systems, networks, and operations.
To comply with evolving regulations and bolster defences against cyberattacks, companies in the energy and utilities sector should adopt a holistic approach to cybersecurity that includes comprehensive solutions for protection.
Our Managed Extended Detection and Response service (MXDR) provides round-the-clock protection across your entire network. This service ensures faster resolution times, lower security costs and smarter proactive prevention tactics, mitigating risks across your entire operation and ensuring your security is well-managed.
SCC's Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) Services include our Aegis platform, which leverages advanced automation and AI to enrich, triage and respond to potential threats, reducing false positives and allowing our analysts to accelerate investigations.
