Siemens Energy Announces Cyber Detection And Monitoring Service For The Energy Sector Based On Artificial Intelligence

Siemens Energy’s Eos.ii ™ Technology Helps Energy Companies Protect Against the Growing Threat of Cyberattacks

Siemens Energy announces a new industrial cybersecurity service based on artificial intelligence (AI), the Managed Detection and Response (MDR), developed with Eos.ii technology to help small and medium-sized energy companies defend their critical infrastructures against cyberattacks. The MDR technology platform, Eos.ii, leverages AI methodologies and machine learning to gather and model energy asset intelligence in real-time, enabling Siemens Energy’s cybersecurity experts to monitor, detect, and reveal attacks before they occur.

Through actionable insights provided by the MDR technology platform, Siemens Energy’s cybersecurity experts implement precise defense measures at the companies’ security operations center and operational technology (OT-SOC) to protect the activities of clients in power generation, oil and gas, renewable energy, transmission, and distribution.

“As the digital revolution transforms the energy industry with new technologies that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and lower emissions, industrial operating environments are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. The complexity of protecting both physical and digital network operations in today’s energy ecosystem is often too costly, prohibitive, and technologically challenging for most small and medium-sized energy companies to identify anomalous behaviors and prevent a cyberattack in real-time,” says Leo Simonovich, Head of Industrial Cybersecurity at Siemens Energy. “MDR is the first AI-based cybersecurity monitoring solution designed to help all energy companies proactively detect and prevent cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructures. Combined with Siemens Energy’s industrial cybersecurity expertise, our MDR service helps provide energy companies with the context and visibility needed to identify intruders before they strike, utilizing the Eos.ii technology platform.”

With Siemens Energy’s expertise in industrial cybersecurity and proprietary detection technologies, MDR can collect raw information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) data from an industrial environment, translating and contextualizing it in real-time. This provides a unified picture of anomalous behavior for defenders, with actionable insights to disrupt attacks. Siemens Energy’s MDR system goes beyond conventional monitoring, achieving a deeper understanding of how digital systems relate to the real world. With its unified OT and IT data flow, the MDR technology platform ‘Eos.ii’ uses AI and digital twin technology to compare billions of data points in real-time against a properly functioning asset. This provides context for Siemens Energy analysts to determine not only which events are abnormal but which will be consequential. The technical achievement of unified data flows and machine learning creates an unprecedented platform for targeted and detailed analytics.

Siemens Energy’s MDR solution meets 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 potential vulnerability for these intruders to exploit. Energy and utility companies are increasingly becoming a primary target for cyberattacks by both state and non-state actors, launching sophisticated attacks involving dispersal, sleepers, and ransomware against energy and critical infrastructure, whether in geopolitical conflicts or broader adversarial situations.

In 2019, the 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 stated that sophisticated attacks are the main challenge and 54% of respondents expected a critical infrastructure attack within the next 12 months. Additionally, 25% of respondents reported having been affected by “mega attacks” executed by state-sponsored actors.
