Utilities providers keep some of the most essential services running, from water and gas to electricity and waste management. That critical role makes them a prime target for attackers looking to cause disruption on a significant scale.
Many organisations in the sector are managing ageing infrastructure alongside newer connected technology, creating a complex environment that can be difficult to secure. A successful attack can have immediate consequences for the people and businesses that depend on these services every day, which means the pressure to get security right is constant.

Cyber challenges in the utilities sector
Utilities organisations manage infrastructure that millions of people depend on every day, meaning a successful cyber attack can have consequences that extend far beyond the organisation itself.
The increasing connectivity of utilities systems has widened the attack surface, giving cybercriminals more potential entry points into critical infrastructure than ever before.
Disruption to essential services such as water, gas or electricity can have an immediate and serious impact on the public, making utilities organisations a frequent target for state-sponsored attackers.
Utilities organisations must adhere to a strict and evolving set of regulatory standards, with clear expectations around how cyber security risks are identified and managed.
Many organisations in the sector face the challenge of securing a mix of ageing legacy systems alongside modern technology, creating vulnerabilities that can be difficult to address.

Pharmacy2U
Founder
WorkNest Secure stand out in the field of penetration testing due to the skillset of people they have working there. We undertook a complex bespoke pentest with them, which required a lot of pre-work in order to make sure it was scoped correctly, and they took the time to come onsite to make sure all was correct prior to commencing.
From my experience with them, they are very intelligent people with a deep understanding of the security landscape, and we will continue to use them for future testing requirements.
