Protecting the Energy and Utilities Industry

Energy and Utilities Challenge

Rising Cyber Threats and Limited Resources

The energy and utilities sector faces escalating cybersecurity threats, remaining a prime target for sophisticated attacks. With critical infrastructure at risk, organizations must defend against ransomware and supply chain vulnerabilities in increasingly complex digital environments.

Ransomware is especially damaging, often exploiting the legacy systems on which these businesses often rely, leading to costly downtime and service threats. These high stakes make energy companies top ransomware targets.
Supply chain risks add further complexity. Heavy reliance on third-party software and vendors creates many entry points for attackers, as seen in the Colonial Pipeline breach. Nearly half of sector breaches stem from third-party risks, highlighting the urgent need for visibility into software dependencies.

These challenges are worsened by aging infrastructure and limited cybersecurity resources. Many organizations lack the tools or expertise to detect malware, monitor advanced threats, or secure their supply chains. As digital transformation accelerates, these vulnerabilities leave energy companies exposed to ever more sophisticated attacks.

Level the Playing Field

Energy and utilities are prime cybercrime targets due to their critical infrastructure role, but often lack sufficient cybersecurity staff and resources. RL delivers automated solutions that integrate with existing workflows, enabling rapid malware detection, threat hunting, and supply chain security—helping energy firms stay resilient against evolving cyber risks.

Secure Legacy Systems

Energy and utilities companies often rely on legacy systems that lack compatible modern security controls, leaving critical infrastructure exposed to threats. RL addresses this challenge with broad support and coverage across diverse file types, architectures, and systems. Our solutions seamlessly integrate with existing environments, providing comprehensive visibility and protection even for aging infrastructure.

Stop Nation-State Attacks

Energy and utilities face rising attacks from nation-state actors using zero-day exploits and supply chain breaches. Advanced threats require tools that detect hidden exploits and malware at scale. RL analyzes every digital asset that enters your organization, be it commercial software, external file transfers, emails attachments, VMs, ML models and datasets, or any other digital object that could pose a risk.

Secure Your Third-Party Software

Energy and utilities companies rely on a wide array of third-party software to manage complex operations, creating an expansive attack surface and increasing the risk of software supply chain attacks. RL is uniquely suited to address this challenge by analyzing binaries at scale, uncovering hidden threats, and providing deep visibility into dependencies. This helps secure the entire software ecosystem, reducing risk and ensuring operational resilience.
