Cybersecurity for Energy

Illustration 3D of an energy landscape with different assets and with Siemens Energy dotsphere

A conversation with Jonathan Tubb from Siemens Energy and Marty Edwards from Tenable on breaking down current trends in industrial cybersecurity and how to overcome them. We discussed the topics of; 2023 cybersecurity in review, insurance policies and trends, movement to proactive security vs. reactive security, the importance of cybersecurity for power generation, and roles and responsibilities.

Rapid digital innovation is transforming industries worldwide. Advances in artificial intelligence are driving unprecedented electricity demand in new data centers, while cyber attackers exploit digital vulnerabilities. Energy companies are digitizing their operational technologies (OT) across both new and legacy infrastructures to optimize emissions, efficiency, and automation. The future prosperity of these industries hinges on leaders’ ability to adapt. In collaboration with the Ponemon Institute, Siemens Energy surveyed critical sectors reliant on digitized OT to assess cyber threats and resilience strategies.

Our findings show that manufacturing, oil and gas, electricity, utilities, and petrochemicals face frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks on their OT systems. By raising awareness and sharing best practices, we can enhance resilience and leverage innovation while mitigating cyber risks.

Attack frequency and severity

Energy companies increasingly recognize that their likelihood of being attacked is nearly 100% and that they must strengthen their agility and resiliency so they can respond when - not if - they are attacked.

Complex and changing regulatory environment

Governments are responding to the growing cyber threat by rolling out comprehensive critical infrastructure regulations. But there is a difference between being compliant and being secure.

Digitalization is making cyber a business imperative

Increased connectivity, automation, and data-driven operations makes a strong cybersecurity program essential.

Wind farm developers, owners, and operators share an interest in cybersecurity risk manage ment strategies that account for the full life cycle of these assets. To ensure secure reliable renewable power delivery, offshore wind farms should be built and operated with a secure by design approach, with systems-level integration in mind, and with the understanding that the threat environment will continue to evolve long after construction is complete.

What are the challenges you face in building a cyber defense program?

Do you fear that connectivity makes you more not less vulnerable to cyber attacks?

Do you lack understanding of what assets to protect?

Do you have a shortage of in-house OT cyber expertise?

Do you have older legacy systems with exposures and vulnerabilities that are difficult to protect?

Are your security monitoring and response capabilities adequate?

Do you need a multi-vendor cyber solution?
