FullProxy, Scotland’s leading independent cyber security and web application specialists proudly announces its membership in the Forth & Tay Offshore Cluster, a strategic initiative aimed at fostering collaboration and innovation within the offshore wind sector. FullProxy’s involvement in the cluster indicates a dedication to supporting renewable energy companies and enhancing the cyber security infrastructure of organisations within the cluster. This enables them to access and leverage advanced cyber security resources effectively.
The Forth & Tay Offshore Cluster, centred in the hub of the east coast of Scotland, is dedicated to promoting the capabilities of companies and organisations within the offshore wind energy sector. By facilitating collaboration and offering support in skills development, it aims to establish the region as a hub for thriving, wind energy companies that will be a fighting force in combating the climate crisis and providing clean energy to Scotland.
According to the Office of National Statistics, “Renewable energies like wind are an important part of decarbonising our economy and slowing climate change. The share of renewable energy sources, including wind, in total energy consumption is also an indicator for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (7.2.1), to help build a more sustainable future.”
FullProxy’s proficiency in cyber security seamlessly aligns with the cluster’s objectives, delivering a pivotal layer of protection for organisations involved in offshore energy projects. As technology increasingly plays a crucial role in the UK’s critical infrastructure, the imperative for cyber security measures grows ever more significant to shield manufacturers from devastating attacks. Particularly prevalent in the energy sector are supply chain attacks, capable of causing organisations to lose crucial data, face downtime, and incur substantial financial losses. Consequently, integrating premium cyber security expertise should be an intrinsic focus within the energy sector to strengthen its defences against potential threats.
FullProxy is committed to assisting organisations within the cluster in gaining better access to cyber security resources. This includes advanced threat detection, risk mitigation, and tailored solutions to address the unique challenges of the offshore wind sector.
FullProxy will actively participate in the cluster’s initiatives to enhance innovation and collaboration among member organisations. By sharing insights and best practices, FullProxy aims to contribute to the collective strength and resilience of the offshore energy supply chain.
As a member of the cluster, FullProxy will work towards increasing risk awareness and the importance of cyber security in the offshore wind sector. This will include educating members about the cyber security risks related to their sector, awareness of the latest products for security protection with the market, and access to expert advice from technical consultants to empower organisations with the latest insights and practices in cyber security.
FullProxy recognises the significance of skilled professionals in maintaining an effective cyber security posture. The company will actively support skill development programs within the cluster, ensuring that the workforce is equipped to address evolving cyber threats effectively.
FullProxy’s collaboration with the Forth & Tay Offshore Cluster showcases a shared commitment to the growth and sustainability of the offshore energy sector on the east coast of Scotland. By working together to strengthen cyber security measures, FullProxy aims to empower organisations within the cluster to navigate the digital landscape securely and seize new opportunities in the offshore wind industry.
