the challenge
Understand their cyber security posture in more depth for a portfolio of renewable operating assets, wind and solar
The Operational Technology (OT) cyber landscape is undergoing radical change, putting operators of critical infrastructure in constant financial uncertainty about their risk of cyber loss. 2019 witnessed a 2,000% year-over-year increase in industrial control system cyberattacks, with the average cost of an industrial cyber breach stacking up at $13.0m vs $11.7m in 2017.
One of these critical infrastructures that is directly affected by the increase in cyber risk is the Renewable Energy sector. Our customer operates wind and solar PV generation facilities, and deployed DeRISK to better understand its exposure to cyber risks.
the solution
Provide a detailed risk assessment explaining their top cyber security risks
DeRISK’s cyber risk platform was able to provide the client a detailed risk assessment explaining their top cyber security risk, in this case based on two Loss Breakdown Types: Source/Initial Access Vector and Consequence Type.
the results
DeRISK was able to provide the client a detailed risk assessment explaining their overall cyber exposure and top risk components, finding that the client’s portfolio has a significantly lower risk exposure compared to other power-sector peers of similar generation capacity. We provided two suggested mitigations, with which the customer can further reduce the expected loss by 14%.
Currently the top source of probable loss is accident or carelessness, which is one of the few areas where controls are not at its strongest. In particular, a measure that would be very effective to reduce the impact of these accidents is to have routine backups on the OT side, to protect against accidental deletion or modification of key configuration files.
With these results from DeRISK, the client is aware of their cyber security posture and is able to prioritize their risk mitigation based on ROI, Risk Reduction, Upfront Cost, Yearly Cost, Payback Period, or NPV.

Prioritizing Risk Mitigations for renewable Energy Assets
Wed, Feb 17, 2021 10:00 AM -11:00 AM EST
Many energy companies struggle to prioritize risk management efforts for their renewable energy projects in a financially meaningful way. To do this effectively, cybersecurity teams must first quantify their organization’s risk levels.
