Abstract:
US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm made an astounding – but sadly not surprising – admission in early June 2021. Even as we speak, there are thousands of attacks on all aspects of the energy sector and the private sector, generally. Organisations around the world are also concerned about this issue. The concern about cyberattacks on US energy infrastructure increased exponentially in early May with the announcement that a pipeline that supplies the US East Coast with almost half its jet fuel and gasoline had been shut off by a cyberattack. For several days operator Colonial Pipeline Company shuttered the entire system as a result of the ransomware effort. The attack on the Colonial pipeline was hardly the first of its kind in terms of energy-related infrastructure. In 2020, a ransomware attack caused a natural gas compression installation to shut down for two days, and in 2018 an attack caused service disruptions for the operators of a number of natural gas pipelines. Implementing additional cybersecurity measures will, of course, take resources and firm political will.
Keywords:
