The energy sector is in a unique position when it comes to network security. Not only does it need to protect private information and keep employees productive, but it is tasked with preventing attacks that could bring the power infrastructure supporting communities across the nation to its knees.
While the ramifications of a cyberattack on the energy sector could be extraordinary, energy companies face many of the same challenges as organizations in other verticals. For example, with the growing challenges of adapting to a mobile and disparate workforce, energy firms need to give their work-from-anywhere (WFA) users the flexibility, secure access and network performance needed to perform their duties.
