Cyber Security for Energy & Utilities in British Virgin Islands (BVI)

The Challenge

Energy companies are among the favorite targets of hackers. Recent cyber attacks have cost energy companies millions in losses, most frequently due to lost business and damaged equipment.

Hackers are not only after sensitive data, trade secrets, and patented designs; they are also after causing physical damage. If this is not enough, there are hackers who want to make a political point, too.

The Energy & Utilities industries are some of the most vulnerable industries for cyber attacks.
