Keeping utilities running: Protecting electric power, water, natural gas and energy infrastructure

Protect utility operations from cyber disruptions before they become service outages 

Download this solution brief to learn how utilities can recover critical OT systems in minutes rather than days with cyber resilience built for remote substations, water treatment plants, energy sites and natural gas infrastructure. 
Utilities can't afford downtime 
Electricity, water and natural gas providers deliver services communities rely on every minute of every day. A cyberattack against operational technology (OT) can interrupt essential services, delay emergency response and disrupt entire regions. 
This solution brief explores how utilities can improve cyber resilience by enabling fast, secure recovery across distributed OT environments while minimizing operational disruption. 
Download this solution brief to discover how to: 
  • Protect SCADA, HMI, engineering workstations, historian servers and other critical OT systems. 
  • Recover failed systems locally using guided One-Click Recovery workflows. 
  • Restore operations to replacement hardware with Universal Restore. 
  • Protect legacy Windows and Linux systems that remain essential to utility operations. 
  • Secure backup data with immutable storage and malware-scanned recovery. 
  • Operate in fully air-gapped or offline environments. 
  • Support audit readiness for IEC 62443, NERC CIP, NIS 2 and other regulatory frameworks. 
Learn how Acronis enables utilities to strengthen cyber resilience, accelerate OT recovery and keep critical infrastructure running even when cyber incidents occur.
