Energy and utility companies face significant risk factors, which is why we focus on proactive and flexible security solutions. Our services are designed to prevent intrusions and protect against acts of harm and sabotage targeting facilities that house critical assets.

Our extensive and comprehensive organization ensures that Alertline can quickly address any emerging security and guarding needs.
Current Challenges
The energy and utility sector is confronted with a unique set of security challenges in 2023. These challenges arise from the critical nature of the industry’s infrastructure, its reliance on outdated technology, and its exposure to a broad range of both physical and cyber threats.
Physical attacks on critical infrastructure:
Energy and utility companies are prime targets for physical attacks, as disruptions to their operations can significantly impact the economy and public safety. Recent years have seen a number of high-profile attacks on energy infrastructure, including the 2015 cyberattack on the Ukrainian power grid.
Insider threats:
Insider threats pose a considerable risk to energy and utility companies. Employees with access to sensitive information and systems can cause considerable damage if they choose to act maliciously. In 2021, a former employee of Colonial Pipeline, a major U.S. pipeline operator, was charged for causing a ransomware attack that shut down the pipeline for several days.
Supply chain attacks:
Energy and utility companies are also vulnerable to supply chain attacks, where hackers target third-party vendors to infiltrate networks and systems. In 2021, a cyberattack on SolarWinds, a software vendor that serves many energy and utility companies, allowed hackers to breach the networks of several SolarWinds clients.
Extreme weather events:
Energy and utility infrastructure is frequently located in regions susceptible to extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. These events can inflict damage to infrastructure and disrupt operations.
Geopolitical instability:
Energy and utility companies operating in politically unstable regions face the risk of attacks from terrorists or other groups. In 2019, an assault on a Saudi Aramco oil facility by Houthi rebels caused substantial damage and disrupted global oil supplies.
