Combating cyber risks with defence-grade security for the energy and utility sector
Energy and utility companies have massive critical infrastructures that are vital for company operations and also for the national economy. However, threat actors with a variety of motives, including industrial espionage, economic disruption, or even personal profit, target the energy and utility industry.
There are many scenarios around the world where hackers have remotely compromised national infrastructures resulting in nationwide crises—and these threats have only increased each year.
This highlights the need for defence-grade security for the energy and utility sector to protect against cybersecurity risks that can create national discord.
The energy and utility sector provides some of the most critical services that are vital for the general public, and therefore, any attack that may damage its critical infrastructure or disrupts these services needs defence-grade cybersecurity solutions.

Defence-grade security for energy & utilities: Developing a resilient strategy
Assessing the risk portfolio
Energy and utility organisations need to assess and understand the probability of a cyberattack and the impact it would have on service delivery. This process involves ongoing identification, assessment, mitigation of risks, risk tolerance, and operational resiliency.
Evaluating the current security measures and vulnerabilities allows organisations to identify the gaps and determine the required improvement in cybersecurity risk management. With VOROR’s extensive expertise in national-grade cybersecurity solutions, we are in a unique position to provide you with the solutions you need.
Building a holistic security architecture
As facilities go digital and new systems and devices are constantly added to improve the performance and restoration of the grid, the edge of the network keeps expanding. This means organisations require a holistic security architecture and design process that takes into account their expanding digital ecosystem.
At VOROR, we understand how exactly to give you the cybersecurity solution you require. Our critical infrastructure cybersecurity solutions, such as Zero Trust email architecture, Zero Trust assured protocol solutions, and government-grade cryptography, help you protect the integrity of your information.

Deploying national-grade cybersecurity tools
A holistic approach to cyber defence means deploying multiple security tools that can insulate a grid against cyber threats.
Deploying firewalls and trust zones to protect IT and OT systems from malicious cyber activity
Encrypting intelligent devices to protect data confidentiality—like the privacy of smart meter data
Implementing user rights and access control to manage access to resources, analyse data flows, and intercept anomalies

FAQs
Today, power utility companies invest heavily in making the power distribution system smarter and are relying increasingly on cyberspace. While these innovations make service distribution more sophisticated, they can also make the grid vulnerable to cyberattacks.
The most significant concerns surrounding cyber threats in the utility sector involve disruptions such as:
- Large-scale power outages
- Contaminated water systems
- Heavy costs incurred as a result of data breaches
- Damage to critical infrastructure and essential networks
- Information breaches affecting customers and employees
- Malware and ransomware prevention
- Data protection compliance
- Elevated endpoint security
- System-wide visibility
High-end solutions that the utilities sector can invest in include:
- Zero Trust Assured Protocol Solutions
- Zero Trust Email Architecture
- Government-grade cryptography
- Cloud, SD-WAN, and VPN protection
