After hackers linked to China reportedly gained access to the IT networks  of hundreds of small and medium-sized water and power utilities in the U.S, alarm bells are ringing for utilities and critical infrastructure (CI) operations across the world. In an attack that some observers suggest is pre-positioning for sabotage of water and power supplies should the U.S. look to intervene in any potential conflict with Taiwan, China has demonstrated the inherent weaknesses in opera

Provision of core transport infrastructure in major cities has evolved from simply building and maintaining roads into managing entire transport networks.  Major arterial roads incorporate significant public assets, such as tunnels, bridges and interchanges, which necessitate a need for control and oversight over an even broader range of assets to ensure traffic flow remains safe, reliable and efficient for all road users.  For any organisation to be able to provide this leve

IoT ecosystems are replacing legacy telematics solutions to help solve some of the most critical problems commercial fleets face today. In fact, digital transformation in Transport and Logistics (T&L) has significantly improved upstream and downstream facets across the entire industry and created unprecedented efficiencies. However for T&L companies, major corporate assets are both connected online and constantly on the move, shifting the organisations security perimeter to t

In the ever more connected world, operational environments and the Operational Technology (OT) controlling them are a new frontline for cyberattacks. Digital transformation driving manufacturing, energy and utilities has created unprecedented efficiencies which have also exposed those organisations to a greater extent to the potential of cyberattack. There are multiple reasons for the increased threat. For one, the expanded use of technology, which opens new communications an

Due to its widespread reliance on a huge network of locations, devices and people to provide adequate services, the energy industry faces perhaps more threat from cyber-crime than any other sector. While these threats have always been present, the effect of recent global events on daily operations has severely increased the possibility of attack. With the post-pandemic shift to work from home practices, as well as a push towards “cleaner, greener and cheaper” energy, the indu
