Safeguarding people, premises and assets
For utilities, security has become a critical business issue. This is, in part, because of the rising threat of terrorist attack, but also due to the escalating price of copper, which has significantly increased copper theft. As growing competition puts a squeeze on profit margins, the security and continuity of supply is vital. Service downtime could cause blackouts or disrupt water supplies, not only resulting in social and economic consequences, but also damaging a utility’s reputation.
With stringent regulatory requirements to achieve, utilities increasingly need security and monitoring solutions that can deter even the most determined of intruders. Such solutions must effectively anticipate attacks, providing early alerts, yet distinguishing between true risks and false alarms.
BT offers a range of security solutions specifically for the utilities sector. We provide integrated security and telemetry offerings that can reduce manpower costs at remote sites and increase security effectiveness and incident response. Our secure networking offering features firewall management and intrusion detection to protect networks from attack. When combined with our identity management and lone worker solutions, utility companies can safeguard their premises and assets and fulfil their duty of care while maintaining continuity of supply.
