Infrastructure Penetration Testing
Infrastructure Penetration Testing uncovers vulnerabilities residing in your IT and network systems and provides a tailored approach to each environment.
The Packetlabs Difference
Guaranteed Compliance
Our team guarantees that your infrastructure and networks are NERC CIP, SOC 2, ISO 27000, and NIST SP800-115 compliant in order to both safeguard critical operations and lower cyber insurance premiums.
Safeguarded Sensitive Information
Energy and utility companies often deal with large amounts of sensitive data, including customer information and financial transactions. This data is valuable to hackers, who may be able to use it for financial gain or to gain access to other systems.
Enhanced Efficiency Levels
By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, penetration tests can help to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of energy and utility systems. This can reduce the risk of downtime or other disruptions to operations, which can be particularly important in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency situation.
Improved Bottom Line
By improving the security and efficiency of their systems, energy and utility companies can improve their bottom line. This can be achieved through reduced costs associated with security breaches and increased efficiency and reliability, leading to improved customer satisfaction and retention.
Key Statistics
200%
is the percentage that cyberattacks on the utilities and energy sector has spiked by, with over 38% of organizations reporting that they had insufficient cybersecurity measures in place. The increasing digitalization and automated control over electricity, gas, and water systems introduce a set of risks previously unfamiliar to the industry.
45%
Of the utilities sector utilize out-of-date systems or software, which can lead to system failure, business disruption, or allow threat actors to gain access to key security infrastructure. Studies show that 3 out of every 10 organizations in the industry are at high risk of a successful breach.
24%
of organizations in the utilities and energy sector have completed recent security patches or OT upgrades, with companies in the industry, on average, paying $2 million on average to restore operational systems after a successful attack.
