Information security challenges in energy industry
Abstract
The increased risk of cyber-attacks has meant that companies in the energy industry are placing a renewed focus on reviewing and enhancing their existing information security measures. Additionally certain trends in the energy industry have increased the security risk profile of the industry’s information systems. While companies are reviewing the information security strategies and mechanisms, a number of government/regulatory agencies are also in the process of defining security regulations with which companies need to comply.
This white paper presents the information security challenges faced by industries in the energy sector and then recommends the steps which organizations need to take in order to meet these challenges and to comply with the regulatory norms.
