The new energy sector challenge: cybersecurity
The energy sector faces complex challenges in maintaining basic supply. The need for system integration and decentralization increases the attack surface in an already highly digitally insecure infrastructure.
Meanwhile, critical infrastructure continues to become the focus of strategic and long-term cyberattacks that circumvent common security mechanisms. Additionally, the sector is struggling with a lack of skilled personnel to keep their operational technology (OT) secure, while policymakers are expanding requirements for critical infrastructure operators.
