Europe’s energy sector, encompassing oil, gas, and renewables, is of paramount importance. Its stability is crucial for the functioning of all other critical infrastructure/entities. The increasing frequency of cyberattacks and the impact of shifting weather patterns underscore the urgent need to protect energy assets, including IT/OT and SCADA systems. A key challenge is minimizing the impact of outages or attacks and strengthening Europe’s energy grids.
