How Aithsense can watch the Windows systems that support operations, planning, and administration in energy and utilities environments, without getting in the way of uptime.
Publicly reported incidents in this sector, and where Aithsense's detections apply.
DarkSide ransomware operators got in through a VPN account that was no longer in use and had no multi-factor authentication. Colonial shut down the largest fuel pipeline on the US East Coast for several days and paid a ransom of about $4.4 million.
