Cybersecurity and Green Technology
A greener future depends on cyber security. Digitalization in the green technology sector expands surface area for cyber attackers
Common Security Risks for Green Tech
- Malware attacks that damage or disable computer systems
- Phishing attacks that involves tricking users into revealing sensitive information or misdirecting users to malicious websites
- Denial of service attacks that render an online service unavailable
Cloud infrastructure
From computerized systems that are used to control industrial operations to critical infrastructure that are used to manage electricity grids, the increase in interconnectivity poses higher risk of cyber attack. Sensitive data is held in secure cloud environments, and someone has to watch over these to reduce the risk of leakage. Kobalt.io’s security-monitoring-as-a-service is here to help.
Consumer technologies such as smart meters, electric vehicles store sensitive personal data. Any compromises in device could cause significant damage to other connected systems. Whether it’s achieving your SOC2 certification for the first time, staying compliant with HIPAA or PIPEDA, working through ISO27017, conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment or ensuring adherence to other privacy standards, we have the advisors to help speed you on your journey.
It was a great experience working with the Kobalt.io team on the ISO internal audit. I am impressed by how well they explained the ISO requirements and how quickly they understood our process that enabled them to deliver the report in a short period of time. I look forward to working with them again.
Ransomware Protection
The economic and reputational impacts of ransomware incidents can be severe.Conducting regular vulnerability scans to identify loopholes and address them preemptively helps limit attack surface.
As we are living in this increasingly interconnected world, the need to build resilience to withstand future shocks from both climate change and cyber attacks has become more imminent.
