In May 2021 a group of Russian hackers who call themselves “Darkside” gained access to the computer systems of the Colonial Pipeline company in the US, shutting down the company’s main pipeline that carries nearly half the petrol consumed on the US east coast. The shutdown caused massive disruption to the American economy and only ended when Colonial paid millions in ransom to the group.
This unprecedented attack on critical infrastructure should be a wakeup call for all companies that depend on the integrity of their computer system to deliver their services. The threat is real. It is potentially devastating. And it is coming for the unprepared.

It is not hyperbole to say that they pose an existential threat to businesses large and small that increasingly depend on their computer systems for communication, mechanical operations, inventory control, online sales, the protection of customer data and much more.
