Energy

The energy sector is undergoing a major transformation: from traditional generation to renewable generation, smart grids and digital customer services. As a result, operational technology (OT) is becoming increasingly connected to IT systems. This requires an agile IT environment and solid security strategy.

Challenges in the energy sector

With the shift to a smart, distributed network and far-reaching OT/IT integration, maximum security becomes indispensable, without compromising availability or production. Common IT challenges we see within the energy sector are:

Integration of IT and OT systems without risk to availability and reliability

Protection of critical infrastructure and production environments

Security and segmentation of smart meters, IoT devices and SCADA systems

Comply with laws and regulations such as NIS2 and ISO27019

Complexity due to the combination of legacy systems and modern cloud solutions

Shortage of internal knowledge and capacity on Zero Trust and OT security

How One Zero IT helps and facilitates

One Zero IT builds digital ecosystems that are secure, connected and scalable. We know the dynamics of the energy market and the critical role of both IT and OT. Our experience with OT/IT segmentation projects, among others, means we know how to increase security without compromising business continuity.

With our unique approach, we translate complex issues into clear, workable solutions. The strength lies in the integral collaboration between the cloud, connectivity and cybersecurity teams. Not only do we deliver the solution ready to use, but we also train internal teams to then manage it independently.

Our consultants work from the Zero Trust philosophy: ‘never trust, always verify’. We develop, embed and share this knowledge within the Zero Trust Center of Excellence.
