Cybersecurity & Resilience
Critical energy infrastructure must be resilient both physically and digitally.
Cybersecurity and resilience are therefore an integral part of our business operations.

Cybersecurity
Protection of IT and Operational Technology
The digitization of energy infrastructure offers new opportunities for monitoring, control, and efficient management. At the same time, dependence on digital systems is increasing, and cyber threats are constantly evolving.
NGT therefore protects both its information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT).
Our approach consists of a combination of prevention, detection, and response. Among other things, we invest in technical security measures, continuous monitoring, access control, incident response, and raising awareness among employees and partners.
In doing so, we focus not only on preventing cyber incidents. Equally important is the ability to recognize anomalies in a timely manner, respond appropriately, and safely continue or restore critical processes.
Cybersecurity is not a one-time measure, but an ongoing process.
Resilience
Prepared for Disruptions
Critical infrastructure can face a wide range of disruptions. In addition to cyber threats, technical malfunctions, physical incidents, the failure of essential services, or disruptions at suppliers and other supply chain partners can all impact operations.
For NGT, resilience means that we understand these risks, manage them where possible, and are prepared should a disruption occur.
That is why we focus on the ability to:
-
identify risks and dependencies in a timely manner;
-
prevent incidents as much as possible;
-
detect and assess disruptions quickly;
-
respond appropriately when an incident occurs;
-
maintain critical processes as much as possible;
-
to recover in a controlled and safe manner after a disruption;
-
to learn from incidents and continuously improve our measures.
In this way, we not only strengthen the protection of our infrastructure but also our organization’s ability to continue functioning under changing circumstances.
Cybersecurity and physical resilience go hand in hand
Digital and physical risks can no longer be viewed in isolation from one another.
A cyber incident can impact physical processes, while a physical disruption can affect digital systems or communications. That is why we approach safety, cybersecurity, business continuity, and physical resilience as interconnected components of a single risk-based approach.
To this end, various disciplines within NGT collaborate, and we maintain contacts with relevant partners and authorities.
Resilience is built through technology, organization, and collaboration. A secure energy infrastructure requires resilience 24 hours a day.
Responsible Disclosure
Digital security also requires collaboration with external security professionals. Have you discovered a potential vulnerability in one of NGT’s digital systems? If so, please report it responsibly through our Responsible Disclosure process.
