Growing up in the good old days, people nev- er locked their doors, everyone looked after each other. But times have changed.
It seems every day we hear about another se- curity breach, and today’s thieves are not target- ing traditional goods like electronics or the fam- ily safe. Instead, they want your (and our) data. Cyber thieves keep testing digital doorknobs and to crack personal and business databases. We take this threat seriously. After all, Lake Region Electric Cooperative (LREC) is owned and governed by you, our members. You have placed your trust in us, and we are committed to protecting your data while delivering reliable, safe, and affordable power.
As a cooperative, we are part of a national network of consumer-controlled electricity pro- viders working together to constantly evaluate
and boost cyber security mea- sures. While there
is no
data minded computer hackers out, we are mak- ing it a lot harder by raising our level of protec- tion.
Collaborating with electric cooperatives across rural America, we are working hard to minimize cyber security risks. Of course cyber security is not a one-time thing, we are constant- ly improving and reinforcing our defenses with new technologies and the best practices to pro- tect your data and our operations.
No matter what security challenges come in
the future, we are striving to be ready to meet them. As always, Lake Region Electric Coopera- tive will be looking out for you.
