Why Cybersecurity is Crucial in the Energy Industry

The impact of a cyberattack in the energy sector can be particularly severe. In such an attack, hackers could gain access to critical systems and data, which they could use to cause widespread damage or even bring down the facility altogether.
Disruption of services to consumers

A power outage can affect a wide range of activities that rely on electricity. Lighting, heating, cooling, communication, and transportation are just a few examples. Businesses may lose revenue as a consequence of being unable to function, and consumers may incur greater costs as a result of having to use backup generators or other alternative power sources.

Financial losses

Every second that service is unavailable costs energy firms billions of pounds in potential losses.

Loss of intellectual property

Cyberattacks can potentially destroy valuable data and intellectual property, undermining the competitiveness of an energy provider by depriving them of key technological advantages.

Environmental damage

An attacker who gains access to a facility’s systems may be able to release hazardous materials or cause other environmental damage. This could contaminate water supplies, impact public health, or even result in loss of life.

Ransom payments

In some cases, attackers may demand ransom payments in order to release any data they have taken hostage. This can put a severe financial strain on energy providers and may force the closure of essential facilities.
