It\u2019s reported that 43% of energy and utilities firms pay ransoms, making the sector the third most likely to pay up. Since energy http:\/\/emergingequity.org\/2015\/06\/26\/vladimir-putin-on-the-global-economy-geopolitics-and-russia-europe-relations\/?shared=email&msg=fail<\/a> and utilities companies need 24\/7 access to critical systems, criminals know there\u2019s a good chance they can extract ransoms from their victims. So, why are cyber criminals targeting energy and utilities businesses? According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy and utilities are one of the most targeted industries in the world \u2013 with only finance, healthcare and governments facing more attacks.

The consequences of cyberattacks against energy and utilities companies are more severe than in any other sector.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
