How can we strengthen the energy supply and cyber resilience in Europe’s energy sector? On the main track, Kenneth Titlestad from Sopra Steria is sharing the potential for more targeted cyberattacks aimed at disrupting Europe’s energy stability and he advocates for a proactive, resilience-based cybersecurity approach.

Cybersecurity transcends mere IT concerns and is particularly pressing for entities in the Energy, Resources & Industrials industry, as they face escalating threats targeting their Operational Technology (OT) infrastructure. Discover more: https://deloi.tt/4cwaTTD

Traditional security measures often rely on implicit trust, using external controls to monitor access and requests. This approach can create vulnerabilities and increase organizational risks. In contrast, zero trust principles minimize uncertainties by requiring verification at every step of the request process. Implementing zero trust principles enhances cyber resilience and better equips organizations to handle potential risks. Read the full whitepaper to understand how to leverage International Society of Automation (ISA)/IEC 62443 to drive zero trust practices in operational technology (OT).

🔒 Embracing cybersecurity isn't just a choice; it's an imperative for any industry looking to thrive in today's digital landscape. Recently, I had the privilege of attending a cybersecurity course at the World Nuclear Security Institute in Vienna, and it reinforced the critical importance of staying abreast of the latest trends in our industry. Cybersecurity isn't merely a buzzword—it's a frontline defense against an array of threats that can jeopardize not only our digital infrastructure but also our bottom line. The World Economic Forum has identified cybersecurity as one of the major risks facing industries worldwide, and for good reason. In an era where cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and prevalent, organizations must be proactive in fortifying their defenses. From data breaches to ransomware attacks, the ramifications of a cyber incident can be far-reaching, impacting not only financial stability but also brand reputation and customer trust. By staying informed about emerging cybersecurity threats and best practices, industries can better safeguard their systems, data, and assets from potential breaches. Moreover, a proactive approach to cybersecurity demonstrates a commitment to protecting stakeholders and upholding trust in an increasingly interconnected world. As we navigate the complexities of the digital age, let's remember that cybersecurity isn't just a checkbox—it's a continuous journey of vigilance and adaptation. Together, let's prioritize cybersecurity readiness and resilience to safeguard the future of our industries. 💻🔐 #Cybersecurity #IndustryTrends #DigitalResilience #WorldNuclearSecurityInstitute
