The Challenge

A leading energy provider in the UK, classified as critical national infrastructure (CNI), faced escalating cybersecurity threats amid growing geopolitical tensions and the increasing sophistication of cybercriminals.

The energy sector’s reliance on digital technologies and interconnected systems exposes it to vulnerabilities that could be exploited to disrupt national energy supply, endanger public safety, and cause significant economic losses.

The primary task was to develop and implement a robust cyber threat intelligence framework.

Talan's Solution

A multidisciplinary team of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) analysts, cybersecurity experts, and sector specialists was formed to undertake the following:

Cyber-Physical Threat Landscape Mapping
Sector-Specific Threat Landscape Analysis
Threat Modelling
Infrastructure Vulnerability Scanning
Gap Analysis
Threat Actor Profiling
Collaborative Intelligence Sharing
Customised Intelligence Reporting

Our Impact

The implementation of Talan’s comprehensive cyber threat intelligence strategy created:

Enhanced Threat Visibility
Proactive Risk Management
Strengthened Resilience
Strategic Collaboration

By leveraging OSINT to gain advanced insights into potential threats and vulnerabilities, our client not only enhanced its cybersecurity defences but also contributed to the national security and economic stability of the country.

The proactive and collaborative approach adopted in this strategy serves as a model for other CNI sectors aiming to mitigate the evolving landscape of cyber threats.
