Department Overview – Corporate Security

 

​Cyber and Physical Security

PG&E operates infrastructure that has been deemed critical to our national and economic security. As such, we are firmly committed to working with other gas and electric providers, other essential industries, and government officials to develop and implement state-of-the-art security strategies and best practices.

 

PG&E’s Enterprise Protection organization demonstrates our commitment to addressing evolving threats and complex cyber and physical security risks. We seek to continually improve our services through strategic deployment of our resources, standardizing security practices and policies, and reinforcing and promoting security awareness across the enterprise.

 

Our Enterprise Protection organization leads our efforts to detect, monitor, and respond to physical and cybersecurity threats and attacks. To test and refine our ability to respond to threat scenarios, we hold an enterprise-wide training exercise each fall and participate in the national GridEx grid security cyber exercise every other year.

 

As PG&E’s technological footprint expands, the need to protect our people, assets, and information from attacks becomes even more essential. We have made investments in key areas to modernize the security infrastructure and to build service capability, providing the security team with the tools they need to manage challenges to our critical infrastructure. As part of this commitment, PG&E participates in the Cybersecurity Risk Information Sharing Program, which is a threat monitoring and intelligence sharing program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.

 

Once risks are identified and prioritized, we develop mitigation plans to protect the enterprise and reduce risk. The approach includes continually evolving our capabilities to address tactics used by our adversaries amid a changing technology landscape. PG&E has around-the-clock centralized security monitoring operations for threat detection, situational awareness, incident management, and emergency response to proactively defend PG&E from both cyber and physical threats.

 

Position Summary

Corporate security teams carry out comprehensive risk assessments to uncover potential vulnerabilities and devise robust risk management strategies to counteract them. Measures for physical security encompass executive protection, safeguarding facilities, securing the supply chain, and devising crisis management plans.
