  • EE-ISAC

After studying business informatics, Thomas Krauhausen was entrusted with the topic of IT security (now cyber security) in respective roles before the turn of the millennium in the energy sector. The topics of data protection, physical security, crisis management and BCM were later added. He was able to get to know these disciplines in all their facets in the European energy sector, from the IT security expert who configures firewalls, to team, department and division manager, to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of DAX 30 international acting energy companies, who was able to discuss this topic with board members or politicians.
He is currently the deputy CISO of E.ON SE and particularly responsible for strategic and regulatory issues. He is active in various associations and organizations. At the European level, beside his role asba board member of the EE-ISAC (European Energy – Information Sharing and Analysis Centre) there are other activities (e.g. he is part of the drafting team for the network code on cyber security (NCCS)) or in the SGTF EG2 (Smart Grit Task Force) of the European Commission.
The main objectives of its activities are to reduce bureaucracy and share useful information at national and European level.

Sessions

  • Power & Energy (Grid Resilience) Sector Symposium

    Europe’s energy sector, reliant on oil, gas, and renewables, is paramount. Without it, other critical infrastructure fails. Recent and regular cyberattacks and changing weather patterns highlight the need to safeguard our energy assets, including IT/OT and SCADA systems. How can we minimize outage or attack impacts and fortify Europe’s grids?
