General security solutions for utilities

In advising on general security solutions for utilities, Convergint recommends careful consideration of several key factors.

  • One crucial security measure suggested by Convergint involves segmenting networks within utilities. This strategy entails the separation of different network components, ensuring that if one part is compromised, the integrity of others remains intact.

  • Convergint emphasizes the importance of implementing strong passwords and encryption protocols to safeguard utility data. Furthermore, utilities are encouraged to formulate a comprehensive response plan for addressing potential cyberattacks.

  • In addition to these overarching security measures, Convergint highlights specific security solutions tailored for utilities. For instance, the deployment of firewalls is recommended to block unauthorized access to utility systems.

  • Recognizing the critical role utilities play in national infrastructure, Convergint underscores the necessity for robust security measures. The potential impact of a cyberattack on a utility is acknowledged as having far-reaching consequences on the economy and societal well-being.
