(Bloomberg, Washington) Senior US network security officials said that the United States must strengthen the protection of the energy industry to prevent Chinese cyber attacks and believe that it is more urgent than the prevention of Russia's attacks during the Russia and Ukraine War.
The Director of the US Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Bureau Istide said at the S & P Global CERAWEEK Energy Conference last week: "The major threat we need to pay attention to is China."She described that if Russia is a hurricane, China is a climate change.
She pointed out that a major lesson from Ukraine is that China must be dangerous to the US infrastructure in order to increase the success rate of attack operations.
She said that there is no major cyber attack from Russia, which avoids the conflict upgrade between Russia and the United States.At the same time, officials of American intelligence agencies also pointed out to parliament last week that China is the number one threat of the United States.
She also said that although many energy companies responded to the official prevention actions launched by the official last year, including providing guidance to individuals, organizations, and leadership to strengthen cybersecurity, they believe that key operators, including power suppliers, need to set up enough redundancyAnd manual control to resist the attack.She emphasized that senior executives also need to treat national security as the issue of corporate management.Among them, Aisonlun, the largest nuclear power company in the United States, is seeking to implement defense measures against physical attacks.
President of Avolon said that after the law enforcement official prevented a attack plan for its Balt Motor grid last month, the company launched an simulation operation on this attack to find out the method of isolation and preventing large -scale faults from large -scale faults.Essence
