BP Alternative Energy wind farms install rugged padlocks to protect critical infrastructure
BP plc is a British multinational oil and gas company headquartered in London, England. One of the company's subsidiaries, bp Alternative Energy, was looking for a way to protect the critical infrastructure, including access to the turbines at its wind farms in the U.S.
Wind farms are inherently difficult to provide security to as many properties include dozens or hundreds of large and powerful wind turbines over a sprawling amount of remote acreage. As a potential target threat to thieves, access to the turbine and the sensitive information it records need to be protected.
