The pipeline company at the center of the most disruptive cyberattack in U.S. energy history says it followed defensive guidelines set by the government and private sector.
But a ransomware cyberattack this month still forced Colonial Pipeline Co. to shut down its 5,500-mile system, which supplies nearly half the fuel used along the U.S. East Coast. The weeklong disruption led to panic buying at gas stations and an outcry for more stringent and enforceable cybersecurity measures for the oil and gas industry. ....

Biden Takes Executive Action to Strengthen National Cybersecurity, Secure Supply Chains
The Biden administration this week issued a new spate of actions to bolster the nation’s cybersecurity, though details of its 100-day plan issued last month to address risks to the U.S. bulk power system (BPS) remain scant.
In a May 11 notice, the president said his administration would continue, for one year, a national emergency declared by President Trump in May 2019 to secure the information and communications technology and services supply chain. And on May 12, Biden signed a lengthy executive order (EO) to modernize cybersecurity defenses of federal networks, improve public-private information sharing, and strengthen the U.S.’s ability to respond to cyberattack events ....

The Growing Threat of Ransomware
According to media reports, ransomware attacks against the manufacturing industry have more than tripled compared with last year. This dramatic rise in cyberattacks poses serious concerns about the vulnerability of critical energy infrastructure serving the nation’s electric grid, and the government has responded with measures designed to thwart any such efforts.
In the manufacturing sector, a ransomware attack typically involves blocking access to a victim’s computer files. Once the victim pays the specified ransom, access to the files is restored. As more and more manufacturing companies seek to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprints, they are deploying on-site energy equipment that is similar to tha ....

As more and more manufacturing companies seek to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprints, they are deploying on-site energy equipment that is similar to that used in by electric utility companies. There is increasing concern that these attacks are providing a training ground for coordinated attacks on energy infrastructure in order to disrupt operation of the nation’s bulk power sys ....
