Vulnerability management is a critical component of cybersecurity for power utilities to identify, assess, and mitigate potential security weaknesses in their systems. It is essential to maintaining the reliability and security of the power grid.
G-Audit offers Vulnerability management module which includes,
- Asset Inventory and classification: Classifying these assets based on their criticality to operations and the potential impact of a vulnerability.
- Vulnerability Scanning: Conducting regular vulnerability scans across the infrastructure to identify known security vulnerabilities in systems, applications, and devices. These scans will cover both internal and external assets.
- Patch Management: Recommendations to patches based on criticality and potential impact.
- Regulatory Compliance: Best practices align with relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements specific to power utilities.
- Governance and Accountability: Establishing clear roles and responsibilities for vulnerability management tasks within the organisation. Assigning ownership for tracking and mitigating vulnerabilities to appropriate teams or individuals.
- Employee Training: Ongoing training for employees to raise awareness about the importance of vulnerability management, how to identify potential risks, and the appropriate actions to take when vulnerabilities are discovered.
G-Audit will safeguard the power infrastructure and contribute to the overall security and reliability of power grid.
