Enhanced Cybersecurity: The energy sector faces a wide range of cyber threats, including ransomware, phishing attacks, and industrial espionage. By integrating OMNIA XDR with Atomius SD-WAN, energy companies can strengthen their cybersecurity defences by continuously monitoring network traffic, detecting anomalies, and mitigating potential threats, thus safeguarding critical infrastructure and data against cyberattacks.

Protection of Operational Technology (OT): Energy companies rely on operational technology (OT) systems to manage power generation, distribution, and control processes. OMNIA XDR integrated with Atomius SD-WAN helps protect OT environments by implementing advanced security measures, such as network segmentation, access controls, and anomaly detection, to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the integrity and availability of OT systems.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance: The energy sector is subject to stringent regulatory requirements related to data protection, grid reliability, and environmental regulations. OMNIA XDR integrated with Atomius SD-WAN helps energy companies meet compliance obligations by providing continuous monitoring, logging, and reporting capabilities essential for demonstrating adherence to regulatory standards and industry best practices.

Preventing Disruption to Energy Supply: Any disruption to energy supply can have significant economic and social impacts. OMNIA XDR integrated with Atomius SD-WAN helps energy companies ensure operational resilience by detecting and mitigating security threats, minimizing downtime, and maintaining continuous availability of critical infrastructure and services, even in the face of cyberattacks or natural disasters.

Optimizing Network Performance: By consolidating security and networking functionalities into a single platform, energy companies can optimize their IT infrastructure and improve network performance. OMNIA XDR integrated with Atomius SD-WAN enables organizations to prioritize critical applications, manage bandwidth effectively, and automate security processes, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and resource utilization.

Protecting Against Advanced Threats: Energy companies are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyber threats, including nation-state actors and cybercriminal groups. OMNIA XDR integrated with Atomius SD-WAN leverages advanced threat intelligence and analytics to detect and respond to emerging threats in real-time, enabling proactive defence and minimizing the risk of data breaches or operational disruptions.

Critical Infrastructure Protection: Energy suppliers manage critical infrastructure, including power generation plants, transmission systems, and distribution networks, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. SASE Remote ZTRA (Zero Trust Remote Access) ensures secure remote access to operational systems and control networks without relying on traditional VPNs, reducing the risk of cyber threats, data breaches, and unauthorized access, thus safeguarding the integrity and reliability of energy supply.

Remote Operations Support: Energy suppliers often operate and monitor remote facilities, substations, and renewable energy installations located in remote or inaccessible areas. SASE Remote ZTRA enables remote operators, engineers, and technicians to securely access operational systems, monitoring tools, and control interfaces from any location, ensuring continuity of operations, proactive maintenance, and timely response to equipment failures or operational issues, even in remote or hazardous environments.

Compliance with Regulatory Standards: The energy sector is subject to regulatory requirements related to cybersecurity, data protection, and grid reliability, such as NERC CIP (North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). SASE Remote ZTRA helps energy suppliers maintain compliance with regulatory mandates by providing secure remote access to operational systems, monitoring data, and compliance documentation, ensuring adherence to industry standards and regulatory requirements, thereby avoiding legal liabilities and penalties.

Support for Remote Field Workers: Energy suppliers employ field workers, maintenance crews, and service technicians who require remote access to work order systems, asset management tools, and diagnostic equipment to perform their duties effectively. SASE Remote ZTRA facilitates secure remote access for field workers, enabling them to securely access work-related resources from any location, improving communication, collaboration, and productivity, even when working in remote or hazardous environments.

Cost-Effective Remote Solutions: Traditional VPN solutions can be costly to deploy and manage, especially for energy suppliers with dispersed teams and remote facilities. SASE Remote ZTRA offers a cost-effective remote access solution that eliminates the need for dedicated VPN hardware and simplifies remote access management through a centralized cloud-based platform. This reduces infrastructure costs and administrative overhead, allowing energy suppliers to allocate resources more efficiently towards grid modernization, renewable energy initiatives, and infrastructure upgrades.

Disaster Recovery and Resilience: Energy suppliers are vulnerable to disruptions caused by natural disasters, severe weather events, or cyber incidents, which can impact the reliability and availability of energy supply. SASE Remote ZTRA ensures business continuity by providing secure remote access to operational systems and control networks during emergencies or crisis situations, enabling energy suppliers to remotely monitor and manage critical infrastructure, coordinate response efforts, and restore services efficiently, even in challenging or remote environments.
