Siemens Using The Power Of AI To Protect Energy, Oil And Gas Companies

The MDR technology platform, Eos.ii, leverages machine learning and AI methodologies to gather and model real-time energy asset intelligence. This allows Siemens Energy’s cybersecurity experts to monitor, detect, and reveal attacks before they are executed.

Armed with actionable insights from the MDR technology platform, Siemens Energy’s cybersecurity experts implement precise defense measures at the company’s state-of-the-art operational technology security operations center (OT-SOC) to defend power generation, oil and gas, renewable energy, and transmission and distribution customers.

Energy Companies And Oil And Gas Services Are Becoming An Increasing Target For Cyberattacks

Siemens Energy’s MDR solution addresses the energy sector’s need for more sophisticated solutions to keep security experts ahead of intruders, as each digitally connected energy asset represents a new possible vulnerability for attackers to exploit.

Energy companies and oil and gas services are becoming an increasing target for cyberattacks by state and non-state actors, launching sophisticated attacks of disruption, stealth, and ransomware against energy and critical infrastructure amid geopolitical conflicts or broader adversaries.

Last year, Ponemon Institute and Siemens Energy conducted a joint study surveying global utilities to assess the industry’s readiness to face the growing threat of cyberattacks.

The study found that 64% of respondents said sophisticated attacks are the main challenge, and 54% of respondents expected an attack on critical infrastructure within the next 12 months. Additionally, 25% of respondents reported being affected by mega-attacks executed by nation-state actors.
