The energy sector faces a significant opportunity for innovation as new connected technologies are integrated into the generation, transmission, and distribution processes. However, the challenge of securing the existing grid against cyber‐vulnerabilities created by new technologies is just as great. The rise of distributed energy resources and the industrial internet of things (IoT) has set the stage for a highly interconnected, reliable, and responsive energy grid. That said, this level of new and increasing interconnectivity has simultaneously made the grid more vulnerable to cyberattacks than ever before. Given the mounting security threats to the exiting grid, having an appropriate strategy in place to maintain operations through a cyberattack has become critical, particularly in the utility industry. Guaranteeing safe and reliable electricity and gas distribution to customers requires a cybersecurity strategy beyond just compliance with current regulatory guidelines.
