Digitalization is propelling utilities into a new world of technology adoption – and opening them up to new threats. Huge growth in the electrification of industry, green energy goals and evolving customer demands are pushing utilities to build a new level of resilience by leveraging IoT and machine learning for greater visibility and streamlined operations. Though effective, adding new technology layers and digital tools also widens utilities’ attack surface, making grids more vulnerable to cyberthreats.
