From state-sponsored attacks and ransomware targeting high-value assets, to the complexity of IT/OT convergence and a widening skills gap, the energy sector stands at a critical inflection point. The white paper, Turning Weakness in Strength, calls for a shift in mindset—seeing cybersecurity not just as a line of defense, but as an enabler for digital transformation, operational efficiency, and long-term innovation. Viasat advocates for comprehensive strategies including secure communication infrastructure, workforce development, threat intelligence, and tailored cyber frameworks, all integrated across the industry's upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.
“It’s the blend of OT and IT technologies required by the industry that makes it more vulnerable to attack. While OT and IT convergence is driving digital transformation within Energy, it also creates cybersecurity complexity. Legacy OT systems present a significant challenge to achieving robust security. Upgrading these systems to meet current cybersecurity standards can be difficult and costly.”
Invisinet’s Perspective: Cybersecurity as an Enabler, Not Just a Shield
At Invisinet, we agree with Viasat’s core message: cybersecurity is foundational to the future of the energy industry. Where Viasat provides robust communication, infrastructure, and satellite-based cybersecurity, Invisinet complements this approach with deep expertise in network obfuscation, zero-trust architecture, and advanced endpoint protection tailored for hybrid IT/OT environments. We understand that simply deploying point solutions is no longer enough—energy companies need a dynamic, adaptive security posture built around visibility, control, and speed of response.
What Invisinet Brings to the Table
- Zero Trust Networking: Invisinet’s solutions eliminate implicit trust, proactively ensuring only authenticated users and devices access critical assets, whether onshore or offshore.
- Cyber Obfuscation: We reduce the attack surface by hiding network pathways and endpoints, making it significantly harder for adversaries to target vulnerable systems.
- Managed Detection & Response (MDR): Invisinet’s 24/7 SOC monitors for threats across both IT and OT environments, enabling rapid containment and remediation.
- Secure IoT Integration: As energy companies ramp up IoT adoption, Invisinet ensures that these devices are securely deployed, segmented, and monitored. In addition, Invisinet has uniquely low overhead and is a dramatically effective solution for industries such as Viasat Energy
- Compliance Readiness: We help clients quickly and cost-effectively align with NIS2 and other global regulatory frameworks. And with SIEM integration delivering audits, gap assessments, and board-level reporting.
Invisinet empowers energy organizations to move beyond reactive defense and embrace cybersecurity as a catalyst for modernization, resilience, and growth. Where Viasat connects, Invisinet protects.
