Nigeria's Power Sector Prioritises Cybersecurity for Critical Infrastructure

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission has urged electricity operators to strengthen cyber defences as power networks become increasingly digitised. Discussions during an October cybersecurity seminar included coordinated incident response, information sharing and stronger compliance to protect critical infrastructure from attacks that could affect system reliability. Utilities, technology providers and infrastructure operators require secure cloud environments, network monitoring and reliable data platforms to support resilient operations. HPC collaborates with institutions to architect secure cloud environments, strengthen enterprise data systems and accelerate compliant digital deployment for a service cost of $690,000.
