Energy & Utilities
Enabling Security and Compliance for Energy & Utilities Firms
The energy industry - oil companies, electrical power producers, transmission companies, energy traders and others - are subject to a wide variety of regulations focused on monitoring communications between employees, logging content to ensure compliance, archiving content for long periods, and protecting their critical assets from cyberattack. In addition, the use of new communications tools like Twitter and Facebook create additional complications and new opportunities for energy-related companies to run afoul of their regulatory obligations.
Consequently, energy-focused companies must implement the right technologies to ensure that they can monitor, log and archive their employees' activities. The infrastructure must also include capabilities to defend against terrorist and other attacks that could cripple energy-producing and transmission assets.
Any company involved in the energy industry must ensure that it complies with a growing set of obligations to manage critical communications. This includes monitoring communications between individuals and groups to make sure they are not communicating in ways that violate various codes of conduct; logging all electronic communications, including instant messaging, social networks and other tools; and archiving business records ranging from policy updates to energy trades.
