CYBER RISKS FOR ENERGY PROVIDERS | by RHEBO

Industrial threat detection from the control room to the substations

Results from cybersecurity audits and monitoring projects in industrial networks over the past few years show that energy providers, multiutility and distribution network operators still lack visibility into their industrial infrastructure.

Although energy infrastructure disruptions have been rare, the increasing frequency of targeted attacks on industrial companies, as well as lessons learned from larger-scale attacks, indicate that the willingness and means to cause disruption on a large scale exist.

Meeting’s topics:

✳️ Original data from audits and monitoring projects showing where gaps exist and what risks (i.e., vulnerabilities, cybersecurity threats, and technical error states) are common and previously unnoticed in both central (control room) and peripheral (substation) networks of energy providers and multi-utility companies.

✳️ Critical Infrastructures need to be able to detect professional, long-term actors (Advanced Persistent Threats) that may spend months spying on networks and moving laterally across authorized connections before launching the final attack.

✳️ The need for a clear defense-in-depth strategy that provides early intrusion and threat detection and a 360-degree view of automated industrial networks in critical infrastructures.
✳️ Case History Thüringer Energie Netze

TEN  is the largest distribution network operator in the German federal state of Thuringia. Its networks reliably supply more than 1.1 million people. Project: risk analysis, correction of vulnerabilities and weaknesses and simultaneous increase in network quality.

✳️ Case History BayWa r.e. 

BayWa r.e.  designs, builds and operates wind farms and photovoltaic parks worldwide. 99 % of technical operations management, servicing and maintenance are carried out via remote access. Project: protection of wind farms and remotely controlled photovoltaic systems with software monitoring system.
