Cyber Threats Facing Utilities

Utility operators reinvented the way they function greatly over the past few decade with bouts of innovation and automation at every turn.

The digital era enables businesses to move faster, function more efficiently and be more agile in the face of challenges. On the other hand, hackers recognise the overreliance on technology and seek to disrupt it for a payday.
