Some statistics:

  • In 2023, over 50% of attacks in Europe affected this industry, with two-thirds having severe impacts.
  • Globally, attacks increased by over 200% in 2023.
  • Hacktivism-related attacks have doubled compared to 2022.

Incidents in the Utilities & Infrastructure sector can cause large-scale disruptions, compromising the operation of entire cities, regions, or states.

Disruptions to public services, such as power grids, can have asymmetric negative impacts on industries and individuals, endangering people's health, safety, and livelihoods. Cyberattacks can trigger a domino effect, creating more extensive and widespread problems. Additionally, many outdated operating systems and the lack of critical security patches increase vulnerabilities, making organizations in this sector more susceptible to attacks.
