Legacy networking is costly & risky

When the power goes out, the heat is on for energy companies as the downstream impacts of an outage or cyber attack can disrupt millions of people and businesses. Bad actors know you’ve got a lot at stake. That’s why, from extraction to distribution, every connected device, field worker, and remote employee has now become a bigger target.

With physical infrastructure extending across a geographically-dispersed supply chain, an increased use of IoT devices, and the convergence of IT and OT environments, energy companies must protect their networks. Unfortunately, if you’re relying on outdated or legacy secure networking hardware, that’s easier said than done. You may be contending with an inability to scale as your energy company grows.

With OpenVPN’s cloud VPN, CloudConnexa, you can decommission your outdated legacy VPN hardware and protect your network with a service, no matter where your team is located. With so much at stake, don’t let outdated network security technology put your operations or data at risk.
