Protect Critical Infrastructure with Strong Identity and Credential Management
Axiad provides a unified framework to manage credentials and assess identity risks across disparate IT and OT systems.
Key Security Challenges for Energy and Utility Companies
The nature of the industry – operating critical infrastructure vital to national security and public safety – makes for an attractive and frequent target for cybercriminals seeking to cause disruptions or gain financially. And the threats continue to mount. Utilities faced a 70% jump in cyberattacks this year over the same period in 2023, with over 1,100 attacks since August, according to Check Point Research.
Adhering to an ever-growing list of federal regulations (e.g. NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection) and government directives (e.g. April 2024 National Security Memorandum on Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience) places an ongoing burden on the organizations to achieve, maintain, and prove compliance.
Employees often have multiple identities for accessing different environments (IT, OT, etc.), leading to complexity and potential security gaps that cybercriminals can exploit.
The need for remote access to critical systems increases the risk of compromised credentials and unauthorized access.
