Interoperability & cybersecurity in the energy industry

Grids are expanded quicker and quicker

Grid expansion is expected to increase by 80% this decade. Paired with an ever growing number of distributed energy resources and edge devices the attack surface grows exponentially.

Ransomware is the weapon of choice

The majority of cyberattacks in the energy sector utilize ransomware. Such attackers demand a ransom from their victims threatening malicious actions such as the disclosure of sensitive information.

System failures are the main cause of incidents

System failures cause even more incidents than malicious actions in the European energy sector.
