We understand the challenges that the Energy & Utilities sector faces with increasing complexity and interconnectivity of critical infrastructure. The potential repercussions of successful cyberattacks in this sector can encompass a range of scenarios such as service interruptions, data breaches, compromised sensitive information, and the potential for widespread disruption of vital services.
Given the expansive and interconnectedness of energy and utilities networks, coupled with the critical infrastructure they support and the sensitive data they handle, this sector remains particularly vulnerable to malicious cyberattacks. The constant threat of cyber incidents poses a substantial risk to essential services, communication networks, and the privacy of customer data.
To address these challenges effectively, CISOs, CIOs, and their IT Security and Operations teams within the Energy & Utilities sector must adopt a comprehensive approach. This approach should encompass rigorous risk assessments, robust cybersecurity protocols, strict adherence to continuous regulatory compliance, ongoing training initiatives, and collaborative efforts to proactively tackle these cybersecurity challenges head-on.
"Security and risk management leaders continue to be asked to do more with less — facing more demand for service, fast-changing threat landscapes and insufficient technical talent."
– Gartner, Predicts 2022: Consolidated Security Platforms Are the Future, 1 December 2021
Runecast is an enterprise platform for security compliance, operational efficiency, stability and uptime. In a single dashboard, it provides an out-of-the-box transparent view of your IT infrastructure, revealing not only configuration drift and vulnerabilities (including CVEs, VMSAs and CISA KEVs) but also vendor best practices alignment and security compliance audits and reporting.
Proving security compliance posture to customers is simple with Runecast’s customizable reporting. Automated security standards audits include CIS Benchmarks, NIST, DISA STIG, GDPR, ISO 27001, BSI IT-Grundschutz, KVKK, PCI DSS, VMware Security Configuration Guide and others. Runecast further helps to protect trade secrets by working securely on-premises and even offline (no data needs to leave your organization).
Fulfilling needs for increased efficiency and ensuring stable production, IT teams can reveal critical issues proactively and know exactly which issues to prioritize for security compliance, operational efficiency and uptime.
IT Security and Operations teams get one proactive platform to replace multiple reactive tools. Runecast automates proactive discovery of issues for AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, VMware, Windows and Linux. Other helpful audits are also built-in, such as Best Practices for vSphere on Nutanix and both SAP HANA and Pure Storage on vSphere.
Best of all, Runecast deploys in minutes, is simple to use, and our customers report between 75-90% reduction in troubleshooting time due to Runecast revealing critical issues proactively and showing exactly which to prioritize (with remediation steps).
Upgrade planning benefits from ESXi upgrade simulations against the VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL), helping teams see the future and remediate potential issues before they exist.
We have good reason to refer to our case studies as ‘customer success stories’. Each time we interview a customer, we are pleasantly surprised to learn of additional ways that Runecast is able to save time and money for our customers.
Run it... you will be amazed by the findings. We always think that a lot of applications are secure by nature and by how they’ve been designed, but after deploying Runecast you really understand the gaps that you might have in your environment and it’s definitely an eye-opener.
