Business Background
Drax is a leading power infrastructure company, and provides around 7% of the UK’s power. Having switched to the use of biomass generators, Drax is considered to be one of the most forward-looking organizations in the energy and utilities industry.
Challenge
The energy sector faces a rapidly-evolving threat landscape, inwhich increasingly sophisticated attackers have been successful in scaling network boundaries and infiltrating extremely sensitive operational systems.
Given the wide range of motivations that attackers have, and the looming risk of internal threat, it had become extremely difficult to pre-empt new attackers and anticipate their methodologies.
- Key target industry for advanced cyber attackers
- Large volumes of data but not enough insight
- Too many false positivesInsider threat
- Too much reactive, not enough proactive measures
It helps us stay ahead of emerging threats and better defend our key systems. We are pleased to be working on cyber innovation with Darktrace’s leading self-learning platform.Martin Sloan, Group Head of Security Benefits Darktrace has quickly become a fundamental part of Drax’s cyber security strategy, due to its unique probabilistic approach and ability to detect emerging threats before they have the potential to cause signi cant damage. On deploying Enteprise Immune System technology, the company was quickly alerted to potential intrusions within its systems that had already bypassed its other security tools. Following an easy implementation process, it now uses Darktrace to continuously analyze the overall health of its system and tospot irregular activities that have a high probability of being either malicious, dangerous or non-compliant. Drax benefits from the most advanced cyber defense technology available today to protect itself against the most insidious attacks that jeopardize its critical infrastructure systems, whether those threats come from the inside or outside of its organization.
