Jaime Santiago Patterson Energy Transition Scientist / TNO (Dutch Organisation for Applied Scientific Research), Netherlands

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.
