Cyber Resilience Built for Utility Companies
We help critical infrastructure providers reduce cyber risk, protect operations, and stay compliant with regulatory demands
The Industry Landscape
Water and energy providers are essential to the UK’s national infrastructure and are increasingly targeted by ransomware groups, nation-state actors, and insider threats.
With highly distributed environments and legacy Operational Technology (OT) systems, these organisations face a growing need for continuous monitoring, operational resilience, and alignment with regulatory frameworks.
Unique Cyber Challenges for the Utilities Industry
Targeted Threats:
Ransomware and nation-state campaigns are increasingly aimed at water and energy infrastructure.
IT/OT Convergence:
Bridging and securing legacy OT systems and modern IT without disrupting operations.
Regulatory Scrutiny:
Meeting stringent requirements from NIS, Ofwat, Ofgem, and frameworks like the Cyber Assessment Framework from the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre.
Visibility & Detection:
Addressing visibility gaps across complex estates with legacy tooling and disjointed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions.
Resource Constraints:
Maintaining round-the-clock threat detection, response and vulnerability remediation with limited in-house capacity.
Supply Chain Cyber Risk:
Managing cyber risk from third-party vendors, contractors, and service providers with access to critical IT and OT environments.
