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.
Funzionalità chiave
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.

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

In che modo la gestione dell'esposizione si differenzia dalla gestione tradizionale delle vulnerabilità?
-
Quando si confrontano la gestione dell'esposizione e la gestione delle vulnerabilità, la differenza principale risiede nel loro fulcro: i risultati del rischio individuale per la gestione delle vulnerabilità e l'esposizione con impatto sul business per la gestione dell'esposizione.
Vulnerability management assesses, ranks, and remediates individual vulnerabilities and often relies on industry standard scoring, like CVSS, for prioritization. In questo approccio manca la prospettiva degli autori di attacchi, ovvero la comprensione di come le relazioni tra asset, identità e rischi si combinino per raggiungere un obiettivo come l'interruzione del servizio, il furto di IP o l'avvio di un attacco ransomware.
Al contrario, la gestione dell'esposizione riguarda l'intera superficie di attacco e comprende tutti e tre i rischi primari sfruttati dagli autori di attacchi: vulnerabilità, configurazioni errate e autorizzazioni. Mappa e prioritizza i percorsi di attacco praticabili che portano alle risorse e ai dati mission-critical, fornendo indicazioni specifiche per interrompere le catene di attacco su larga scala. Il risultato è un passaggio fondamentale dalla gestione di risultati astratti della sicurezza a una quantificazione dell'esposizione organizzativa orientata al business.
-
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.
