Cybersecurity

The Enel Group has a holistic and systemic action and management model for cybersecurity that applies to all its companies, including Enel Américas. Senior management and global strategic management are committed to the model, which has established the need to use world-class technologies, design ad hoc business processes, increase people's cyber awareness, and implement cyber regulatory requirements.

  • In 2020, the Company worked hard on cybersecurity education, training, and outreach, in addition to strengthening data protection methods.

  • As a reflection of Enel's leadership, the Cyber Security Unit participated in the drafting of three WEF (World Economic Forum) reports on cyber resilience:

 

                       -  "Cyber Resilience in the Electricity Ecosystem: Playbook for Boards and Cybersecurity Officers.”

                       - "Cyber resilience in the electricity Industry: Analysis and recommendations on Regulatory Practices for the Public and Private Sectors.” 

                       -  "Cyber resilience in the electricity ecosystem: securing the value chain.”
