As the energy sector embraces digital transformation, the systems controlling critical infrastructure—such as turbines, substations, and solar inverters—are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Known as operational technology (OT), these environments differ significantly from traditional IT systems and are often not fully visible or protected by conventional cybersecurity tools.
One global power-generation company, operating 16 facilities across three continents, realized this risk firsthand. With assets ranging from wind farms to combined-cycle and solar plants, the company needed a way to understand and manage its cyber risk—not in technical terms, but in financial ones that could inform business decisions across the C-suite.
To meet this challenge, the company implemented DeNexus’s DeRISK™ Cyber Risk Quantification & Management (CRQM) platform, a data-driven modeling solution that translates OT cyber threats into clear financial risk metrics. The result? A transformed cybersecurity posture, grounded in measurable business value.
