The renewable energy sector confronts significant cybersecurity challenges due to heightened digitization and interconnected devices, rendering these systems vulnerable to cyber threats. Integration with legacy power systems further exacerbates security gaps. As renewable energy becomes integral to national power grids, it accumulates sensitive data and assumes the role of critical infrastructure, thereby attracting cyberattacks
The acronym EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) is pivotal in the utilities sector. These three components are essential for bringing new locations online. Although utilities often rely on their internal resources, the rapid industry growth makes complete self-sufficiency challenging. Funding for new utility builds is limited, necessitating the choice to either leverage a general
The utilities industry is managing increasing numbers of physical and cyber threats, necessitating robust defense strategies and tactics. To date, however, solar facilities have lagged behind other utilities in terms of implementing best practices in security. This is driven by: A common lack of infrastructure The scope and circumstances of their physical space –
The utilities sector is experiencing an escalation in physical and cyber risk on a national and global scale that mandates the prioritization of security planning and procedural mitigation. Convergint’s dedicated utilities team provides high-security protective strategies, methodical program implementation, and comprehensive solutions focused on driving both safety and operational efficiencies in this sector.
Solar farms, essential for meeting global energy demands, often face significant security challenges such as intrusion and theft. Traditional measures frequently prove inadequate in addressing these issues. In response, the collaborative effort between the Convergint Utilities team and Axis Communications aims to strengthen and safeguard solar infrastructure. Recognizing the critical importance of addressing these
Understanding the complexities of NERC-CIP-compliant environments is crucial in an era where critical infrastructure security faces new challenges. From wastewater treatment plants to solar stations, these facilities are vital to society, requiring a balance between large-scale operations and efficient functioning.
