Cybersecurity of Critical Infrastructure

CYBERSECURITY SERVICES

KEEP YOUR RENEWABLE ASSETS SAFE FROM ONLINE THREATS

Digitalisation and automation are transforming the energy sector, with the rapid growth of renewables accelerating this trend. As more solar assets with networked systems integrate into the energy grid, the risk of criminal or malicious cyber-attacks on infrastructure increases.

Cybersecurity for energy plants goes far beyond IT, underpinning operational safety and resilience. Compared to the constant advances of cybersecurity in IT, the same cannot generally be said for OT environments. It is in this field that our experience and expertise plays a pivotal role, allowing us to offer proven models already operating successfully in industrial solar PV environments worldwide. By investing in robust cybersecurity, operators of solar, BESS, or hybrid storage portfolios can safeguard their operations, protect sensitive data, and ensure reliable energy delivery in an increasingly digitised and interconnected world.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE CYBERSECURITY

CHARACTERISTICS

Security is a function with a wide range of applications. When applied to the critical infrastructure found in renewable projects, there are several main areas to consider, each of them comprising one part of a site’s overall information security strategy. Quintas’ cybersecurity services address these areas and ensure they are mutually supporting, to provide maximum protection overall.

Protecting critical infrastructure Understanding why certain assets are critical to operations and how infrastructure can be vulnerable to attack enables managers to choose the right solutions. We can identify, quantify, and register a site’s assets to beef up their cybersecurity protection.

Mitigating financial & operational risks

Cyber attacks occur for financial gain or to disrupt operations. Our services ensure that operating systems and software are updated whenever possible. We also ensure there is a system recovery plan in place to restore data fast in the event of an attack.

Preventing data breaches We prevent the theft of sensitive information by various methods, including developing a site-wide cyber strategy, implementing a rapid response plan and basing access privileges on risk exposure to minimise data breaches.

Safeguarding against emerging threats We take a proactive approach to emerging threats, ensuring that critical infrastructure defences are continuously updated. This ensures that a site’s cybersecurity procedures don’t just react to threats but also try to futureproof their protocols.
