Australian Utility Provider Partners With CrowdStrike to Transform Cybersecurity Defense and Critical Infrastructure Protection
Australian energy utility Jemena owns and operates a diverse portfolio of energy-related assets, supplying millions of households and businesses with essential gas and electricity services. The company is also spearheading a number of high-profile green energy initiatives — all of which makes it an enticing target for cyberattacks.
Australia is on the cusp of introducing new cybersecurity regulations to ensure the country’s critical infrastructure is protected. In response to these upcoming regulations and the growing threat of cyberattacks, Jemena appointed Dave Worthington as CISO to strengthen its security posture.
