We’re excited to tell you that GE and Nozomi Networks have joined forces to provide our advanced cyber security solution to power utilities and critical infrastructure operations around the world. Our global agreement gives GE Power customers immediate access to our leading real-time ICS visibility, network monitoring and cyber security solutions.
Teaming up with GE accelerates our ability to reach electricity asset owners everywhere. More importantly, it also fast-tracks cyber risk reduction for the global power supply, which has been increasingly targeted by cyber threats.
Cyber Attacks on Energy Infrastructure Are Increasing
Over the last few years, attacks on energy infrastructure have increased greatly. You likely know of the power outages in Ukraine in both 2015 and 2016 that were caused by cyber attacks. Cyber threats are keeping energy and government leaders around the world awake at night. And with good reason, the World Economic Forum now lists power system cyber threats as one of the top risks to safely functioning societies, economic stability and business continuity.
To improve cyber resiliency, many utilities are evaluating options for augmenting the cyber security of their industrial control system (ICS) networks. One fundamental security best practice is having real-time visibility into cyber security attacks, risks and incidents.
Five years ago, the technology to deliver such visibility for large, heterogeneous, high availability industrial systems did not exist. Today, the Nozomi Networks solution provides visibility and cyber security to the energy industry and is currently used in 500+ hydro generation facilities, 400+ gas distribution substations, and 300+ electrical substations around the world.
“Cyber incidents are inevitable in today’s world. It’s our job to understand what is most important to the business and manage the risk. If an incident does happen, proper response is key in determining the level of impact it will have on your business. Now, as cyberthreats against energy and other critical infrastructure industries continue to rise, our customers are asking for advanced solutions to monitor and detect cyberattacks against their OT networks.”
-Teresa Zielinski, SVP, CISO, GE Power Security
GE is a major supplier to power operators and the world leader in gas turbine technology for electricity production. Its 10,000-plus heavy-duty turbines offer cost-effective ways to convert fuel into electricity, while high reliability reduces costs and maximizes profitability for GE customers.
