Communications Resilience for Energy Companies

Cyberattacks and severe weather now force energy operators to run incidents with primary systems offline. BlackBerry® Secure Communications keeps control rooms, plants, and field crews coordinated across electric, oil and gas, nuclear, and renewable operations.

Providing Operational Continuity Against Threats

The 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack showed what a single successful intrusion can do to an oil and gas operator: a six-day shutdown of a 5,500-mile pipeline, fuel shortages and panic buying across 12 U.S. states, and aviation fuel limitations, all triggered by an IT-side compromise that forced a precautionary OT shutdown. Nuclear, industrial, and other energy operators face the same exposure. The question isn't whether an adversary can gain access. It's whether your team can continue coordinating operations after they do.

Hero background

Three Questions

What the Next Six Hours Actually Depend On

If the network goes down at 02:00, three questions decide what happens next: 1) Can you reach everyone who needs to move? 2) Can the people running the response talk without using the systems you just isolated? 3) Can you prove the devices carrying the response are yours?

How Energy Operators Stay Coordinated

Security Built Around the Realities of Energy Operations

Energy operations are distributed, regulated, and unforgiving of downtime. What breaks first is different in a control center than on a wellhead or inside a protected area, so the coordination requirement is different too.

Holding the Line Across Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream

Make the Isolation Call on a Channel You Control

The decision to shut down is made independently of the IT systems under question.

Notify Terminals, Shippers, and Contract Crews at Once

One alert reaches every party across organizational boundaries, with acknowledgement tracked.

Cover Remote Sites with No Local IT

Alerting and device policy extends to platforms, compressor stations, and unmanned facilities.

Hold the Record for Incident Reporting

Time-stamped alert and acknowledgement logs support reporting obligations after the event.

Built for What Energy Operations Require

Resilience Starts with Sovereignty, Certification, and the Frontline

1

Cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped. BlackBerry® AtHoc® deploys at sites where an outbound path to a vendor cloud is not permitted or not available.

2

Customer-held keys. BlackBerry does not hold the keys to your traffic; there is nothing for a legal order to compel.

3

Cryptographic identity for every participant. Operators, technicians, and mutual-aid partners are verified before they join a channel.

Independent Validation

Certified Against Public Standards

Every certification below is publicly listed and independently verifiable. Two of them come from the classified government market; energy operators are not held to those bars, but the platform was built to clear them.

Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408)

BlackBerry® SecuSUITE® is NIAP-certified under Common Criteria, the international standard for evaluated security products.

FedRAMP Class D (High)

BlackBerry AtHoc holds FedRAMP Class D (High) certification, the strongest federal cloud posture held by any critical event management platform.

FIPS 140-2 Validated

Validated cryptographic modules for sensitive and classified operational data.

NSA CSfC Components List

BlackBerry SecuSUITE is listed for classified US government use. Energy operators get the same channel.

NATO Restricted Approved

Cleared for NATO Restricted traffic, the assurance level applied to allied military coordination.

Protect Operational Integrity

Get a Demo of the New Standard for Energy Operations Resilience

Governments are raising the bar for critical infrastructure security. Energy operators are being asked to move beyond compliance and demonstrate operational resilience. Get a demo of the new standard for energy operations resilience. When a cyber incident disrupts normal systems, your teams can still communicate, make decisions, and coordinate a response.
