Organizations in the energy industry face a number of potential threats and risks, and addressing them often poses significant challenges. Many of these entities are responsible for operating and monitoring multiple facilities in several locations, which are often in remote areas. Additionally, security infrastructure often consists of disparate systems, and the potential for insider incidents has become a major risk for energy companies. Further complicating these already significant obstacles is the fact that manual processes are still employed for identity management and vital auditing tasks necessary for demonstrating compliance with NERC CIP and other government regulations.
