Exposure management for utilities and energy companies

Mitigate cyber risk and proactively manage cyber exposures across energy generation, transmission, and distribution to secure supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks and meet critical infrastructure compliance requirements.

Find and fix exposures before attackers can exploit them

Prevent compromise and lateral movement across your converged IT/OT environment by proactively identifying and remediating the vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and identity weaknesses attackers can exploit to disrupt power grid systems.

Get a single source of exposure truth across distributed sites and assets

Use IT and OT exposure management to actively discover, classify, and track assets in local and remote sites from a single, centralized platform. Quickly find and prioritize critical exposures to remediate before they threaten energy grid reliability.

الإمكانيات الرئيسية

Get unified visibility into IT and OT assets

Get complete IT and OT asset visibility to expose the blind spots where advanced persistent threats (APTs) and other cyber exposures hide. Use an exposure management platform to safely discover and track every IT and OT device, including HMI consoles, engineering workstations, and sensitive industrial control system(ICS) assets, to eliminate attack paths that threat actors leverage to target critical infrastructure.

Find attack paths before threat actors do

Move beyond endless vulnerability lists and noisy security alerts. See how attackers can pivot from compromised IT systems into your critical OT environment and vice versa. Use Predictive Prioritization to identify and fix the 1.6% of vulnerabilities that pose a material risk to grid reliability.

Automatically identify misconfigurations and policy violations

Get control over your OT environment to prevent silent drift and instability. Automatically track and compare configuration snapshots for programmable logic controllers (PLCs),intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), and remote terminal units (RTUs) against your security baselines and policies. Validate every authorized and non-approved change to ensure system reliability.

Streamline compliance against global industry standards

Simplify continuous compliance validation against frameworks like NERC CIP, IEC 62443, IEC-61850, and NIS2. Use an exposure assessment platform with executive dashboards to automatically map your asset inventories and configuration changes directly to the controls auditors look for. Stay audit-ready without the need for complex spreadsheets and manual reconciliation work.

Speed up incident response and recovery

Slash the time your teams need to recover from breaches. Use granular audit trails to instantly pinpoint an outage’s cause, whether it is a cyber threat, a malfunction, or human error. Streamline remediation to restore energy plants and remote sites to full operation to minimize costly downtime and support continuous energy delivery.

Protect vital power grid assets from complex cyber threats

How exposure management helps the energy sector address strategic priorities and cybersecurity challenges

أولوية استراتيجية
Grid modernization security
As your utility expands into the cloud, IoT, and AI to support smart grids and renewables, your attack surface explodes. Exposure management tracks these disparate assets, from solar inverters to smart meters, so innovation doesn't introduce unmanaged risk.
Operational availability and safety
Exposure management aligns cybersecurity with energy sector safety and reliability risks. By prioritizing exposures that actually threaten critical infrastructure, you can focus remediation on the 1.6% of vulnerabilities that put your energy utility at risk, and use limited maintenance windows for preventing outages and safety incidents.
تمكين التكنولوجيا وتحديث الأنظمة القديمة
Exposure management provides safe, active querying to assess fragile legacy devices without disrupting them. You can use exposure management to identify compensating controls for legacy assets you cannot patch or replace.
Risk management and regulatory preparedness
Exposure management automates validation of security controls against specific energy sector mandates. Instead of manual audit prep, you get continuous visibility into your utility’s compliance posture for asset inventory, configurations, access control, and governance reporting.
Power grid resilience
By visualizing and cutting off attack paths that lead from IT networks to critical control systems, exposure management proactively stops attackers before they can pivot to the grid and disrupt power delivery.

Exposure management for energy FAQ

What is exposure management in energy?

Exposure management is a strategic approach to proactive security designed to mitigate risk by continuously identifying, contextualizing, prioritizing, and closing your utility’s most urgent cyber exposures. In the context of utilities and energy companies, cyber exposures are toxic combinations of preventable cyber risks, such as vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and identity weaknesses, that threat actors can exploit to compromise the power grid and disrupt energy generation, transmission, and distribution.

كيف تختلف إدارة التعرض للمخاطر عن إدارة الثغرات الأمنية التقليدية؟

عند مقارنة إدارة التعرض للمخاطر بإدارة الثغرات الأمنية، يكمن الاختلاف الأساسي في تركيز كل منهما: حيث تركز إدارة الثغرات الأمنية على نتائج المخاطر الفردية، بينما تركز إدارة التعرض للمخاطر على حالات التعرض للمخاطر المؤثرة على الأعمال.

Vulnerability management assesses, ranks, and remediates individual vulnerabilities and often relies on industry standard scoring, like CVSS, for prioritization. ومع ذلك، يفتقر هذا النهج إلى وجهة نظر المهاجم — أي الفهم لكيفية ترابط الأصول والهوية والعلاقات بين المخاطر لتحقيق هدف محدد، مثل تعطيل الخدمة أو سرقة الملكية الفكرية أو تنفيذ هجمات فيروس الفدية.

على النقيض من ذلك، تركز إدارة التعرض للمخاطر على سطح الهجوم بالكامل، بما في ذلك جميع المخاطر الأساسية الثلاثة التي يستغلها المهاجمون: الثغرات الأمنية والتكوينات غير الصحيحة والأذونات. إذ ترسم مسارات الهجوم القابلة للتعرض للمخاطر وتحدد أولوياتها للوصول إلى الأصول والبيانات بالغة الأهمية، مع تقديم إرشادات محددة لكسر سلاسل الهجوم على نطاق واسع. والنتيجة هي تحول جذري من إدارة نتائج أمنية مجردة إلى قياس حالات التعرض المؤسسية للمخاطر بطريقة متوافقة مع الأعمال.

Why does the energy sector need exposure management now?

Exposure management helps the energy sector address cyber risks stemming from grid modernization, IT/OT convergence, and sophisticated nation-state threat actors. By identifying, prioritizing, and helping you remediate your most urgent vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and identity weaknesses before attackers can exploit them, exposure management enables you to take a proactive stance against cyber threats, rather than having to rely exclusively on reactive threat detection and response technologies built for IT environments, like EDR and SIEM. With exposure management, you can preemptively fix critical cyber risks that threaten physical safety and energy grid reliability.

How can I use exposure management for regulatory compliance in the energy industry?

Exposure management helps you fulfil requirements for continuous monitoring, risk quantification, and documented resilience strategies, which are critical for meeting mandates that require real-time asset visibility and continuous monitoring of OT and SCADA networks, like NERC CIP, NIS2, IEC-61850, and IEC 62443.

What business and cybersecurity outcomes can energy utilities expect from implementing exposure management?

When your utility implements a mature exposure management program, you get measurable reductions in cyber exposure, faster remediation cycles, and an improved cybersecurity and compliance posture. Exposure management enables your security teams to shift from reactive defense to proactive resilience to safeguard critical infrastructure availability.
