Energy & Utilities

The introduction of competition in the electric power industry, combined with increased public demand for power, has resulted in greater reliance by power utilities on information systems and networks. Just as information system expansion has occurred, information security vulnerabilities have shown a corresponding increase. Efforts to allow easier access to operational, customer, and supplier information, combined with the expansion of corporate IT boundaries as the result of merger and acquisitions, vastly increases the security vulnerabilities of power company networks. As a result, the impact of a security breach goes beyond operational concerns, and can have a devastating impact on the financial well-being of a company.

Some of the growing concerns of Energy & Utilities organizations continue to be:

   ♦ E-Business Initiatives and the Transformation of The Traditional Network Architecture

   ♦ Network Security Vulnerabilities

   ♦ Patch Management challenges

   ♦ Compliance Management challenges

   ♦ Legacy supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems

   ♦ Managing a diverse set of vendor products that generate large amounts of status and threat information

   ♦ Incorporating security into service delivery applications that were developed without security as a consideration

   ♦ Ensuring the physical security for all the systems that deliver the services including those that are distributed over long distances.

We will help you in assessing your organizations information security and risk management practices and give recommendations on the change of policies and strategies on the security front that gives you value for business information.
