Ransomware
Ransomware attacks against energy companies around the world are typically aimed at causing these companies to suffer enormous financial losses. In addition to high ransom demands, time spent patching threats and protecting data, and time wasted navigating the threat landscape.
Web Applications
Vulnerabilities in networks provide criminals with openness to access databases, sensitive data and financial details. Once they get the information, it can quickly escalate into a ransomware situation, which has the potential to cripple an entire business within minutes.
Energy is one of the industries where the economic growth of a country is based. Attacks are routinely carried out by organized criminal groups of an opportunistic nature, which use vulnerabilities in systems to which organizations in this area are often sensitive. What motivates attacks in this industry is financial gain or widespread disruption to gaining power, often political in nature.
Energy companies must have the superior technology to deal with cyber threats. To protect the data, access the database in order to avoid incurring huge financial losses.
Companies in the energy industry must take cyber risks seriously. Security experts must have the ability to detect, respond to and understand the context of a risk. And technology must be superior to deal with cyber threats such as Nation-State Actor, Ransomwares, and phishing. Not only should the strategies be implemented internally, but the training of all staff should be actively encouraged.
