Case Study: a renewable energy producer reduces cyber risk exposure with DeNexus and the DeRISK Platform

Renewable Energy Producer - Customer Case Study

The renewable energy producer, which operates a portfolio of wind and solar assets, faced the challenge of understanding its overall cyber risk exposure. As a prime target for malicious actors, the renewable energy sector presents elevated cyber risks, and the customer needed to better quantify its financial vulnerability and identify the primary sources of that risk. To address this, the company deployed the DeRISK platform from vendor DeNexus.

DeNexus provided a detailed risk assessment that broke down the client's top cyber security risks by source and potential consequence. The DeRISK platform quantified the portfolio's exposure, revealing it was significantly lower than industry peers. Most notably, the platform's mitigation module identified low-cost projects capable of reducing expected financial loss by an additional 14%. Using these DeNexus results, the client can now effectively prioritize its risk mitigation investments based on ROI and other key financial metrics.
