Ensuring Secure and Reliable Operations
for Utilities and Renewables
In today’s interconnected world, Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) organisations face unprecedented challenges when it comes to ensuring operational resilience and service availability are maintained across the UK. The convergence of IT and OT networks, coupled with an increasingly diverse, sophisticated range of security threats and evolving regulatory obligations, demands an innovative approach to digital transformation, tailored to the sector’s unique requirements.
- Digital Transformation – 65% of electricity companies are investing in digital technologies and platforms.
- Cyber Security Concerns – The global operational technology (OT) security market is expected to reach $44.9 billion by 2029, highlighting the growing need for robust cyber defences. (Source: MarketsandMarkets)
- Renewable Energy Growth – The UK aims to generate 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2035, driving significant investment in sustainable energy infrastructure. (Source: UK Government)
The Challenge
Legacy systems increasingly struggle to keep pace with the evolving demands of modern CNI operations, particularly when it comes to maintaining seamless, secure dataflows between physical and digital systems, and across multiple remote sites and challenging environments. This requires the well-considered integration of physical and digital technologies, while simultaneously addressing the heightened risk of cyberattacks.
The Solution
Vysiion provides a edge-to-core approach to transforming CNI technology systems, including:
- Critical Network Connectivity – Enabling centralised control and secure data linking through 4G / 5G, MPLS, SD-WAN, and leased line technologies.
- Robust OT Cyber Security – Protecting critical assets and data with our 24 / 7 UK Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) and advanced threat prevention measures like DDoS mitigation and ransomware protection.
Benefits
- Improved operational efficiency across remote sites in the most challenging environments
- On-site support and consultation from security-cleared specialists
- Real-time analysis of IT and OT data, for optimal responsiveness
- Enhanced disaster recovery and service continuity capabilities
- Reduced risk of cyberattacks and security breaches
- Full compliance with key industry regulations (e.g. NIS 2)
Our Solutions
Our solutions help CNI organisations meet the stringent requirements, including the NIS 2 Directive, which mandates enhanced cybersecurity measures and risk management practices to protect essential services. This involves implementing appropriate security controls, incident reporting procedures, and demonstrating compliance with regulatory standards.
