Seminar: Cyber attacks and incident response in the wind industry

Join our complimentary breakfast seminar in Trondheim

Renewable energy infrastructure is a growing target for cyber-attacks, as the energy sector’s technologies and systems become increasingly connected. Cyber-attacks towards the growing wind industry are rapidly increasing and occurs in parallel to the increasing demand. Can cyber-attacks stop wind turbines, spread to other wind farms, or even damage an entire windfarm? Only the last year we’ve witnessed three devastating cyber-attacks on European wind farm companies with ransomware and supply-chain attacks topping the list.

DNV invites to an exciting breakfast seminar to share insights and observations from the field, as well as insights into recent cyber-attacks and key trends going forward. Learn how to identify where your projects and operations are exposed to threats before threat actors can find them and understand how to protect your valuable wind assets.

DNV provides specialist knowledge of the renewables industry with deep engineering expertise and security best practice to keep your onshore and offshore wind projects, control systems, and operations confidently cyber secure.

This seminar is specifically useful for:
Wind company CISO’s, engineers of substations and wind turbines, IT/OT security architects and responders, among other key players in the wind industry, such as government bodies, operators, owners, suppliers, and investors.

This seminar will be conducted in Norwegian.
