INDUSTRY
Utilities
OT incident response for power and water utilities, where availability isn't just a business requirement — it's a public one.
OT / OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
- Power generation, transmission, and distribution SCADA systems
- Water and wastewater treatment control systems
- Substation automation and protection systems
- Distributed infrastructure spanning many physical sites
- Engineering systems supporting configuration and maintenance of control equipment
COMMON CYBER RISKS
- Compromise of SCADA or control center systems
- Unauthorized access to substation or remote site equipment
- Ransomware affecting systems that support grid or plant operations
- Exposure through remote access used for distributed site maintenance
- Lateral movement between corporate IT and operational networks
INCIDENT RESPONSE CONSIDERATIONS
Utility environments combine centralized control centers with widely distributed physical infrastructure, which affects how quickly containment and investigation can reach every affected location.
Availability requirements in utilities are exceptionally high, so response has to be carefully sequenced to avoid unintended service impact.
