The consequences of a successful cyber attack are devastating at the best of times, but for eco energy companies the impact is more widespread as businesses and industries are unable to operate, causing huge financial and operational damage.
With the pressure on green energy companies to power up and become a viable alternative to fossil fuels, they face a range of cyber security challenges to which other sectors are immune.
Like all businesses, the race is on to drive innovation and secure business growth in a competitive landscape, which means already stretched IT resources are in limited supply when it comes to managing cyber security.
Yet many of the cyber security challenges are unique and require specialists who understand the increasingly complex environment energy companies face.
