OMEC Webinar Series – Critical infrastructure & cybersecurity in the energy sector.
OMEC will host this webinar on March 27, 2025 focusing on the protection of critical infrastructure and cybersecurity in the energy sector, since it is crucial, as it directly impacts national security, economic stability, and public welfare. This sector encompasses essential components such as power generation, transmission and distribution systems, as well as oil, gas, and nuclear facilities. Safeguarding these assets from cyber threats is of utmost importance, as potential attacks or disruptions could have severe and far-reaching consequences.
With the growing electrification of the economy and the ongoing energy transition, both conventional and alternative energy technologies are becoming increasingly integrated into digital systems and networks. While this digitalization enhances energy efficiency, facilitates the expansion of renewable sources, and enables smarter energy services for consumers, it also heightens the energy sector’s exposure to cyber threats. Greater connectivity amplifies vulnerabilities, increasing the risk of cyberattacks that could jeopardize energy supply security and consumer data privacy.
