4 Steps to Defend Electric Utilities from Cyber Threats
This infographic recommends four steps for electric utilities: identify intelligence-driven threats, deploy critical controls, prioritize industrial sites, and align security spending with credible adversary behavior. FrostyGoop illustrates how exploitation of an exposed remote-access router and webshell deployment enabled unauthorized Modbus TCP commands that altered controller values and disrupted district heating. Recommended protections include OT-specific response plans, network segmentation, protocol-aware monitoring, MFA and controlled remote access, and risk-based vulnerability remediation. The infographic also profiles SYLVANITE, VOLTZITE, KAMACITE, and ELECTRUM, showing attack paths involving internet-facing vulnerabilities, cellular gateways, phishing, living-off-the-land techni
