The energy industry is currently facing unprecedented challenges triggered by the war in Ukraine. Energy companies not only have to counter supply bottlenecks, but are also facing targeted cyberattacks on critical infrastructures in particular.
As part of our study "Implementation of cybersecurity strategies in the energy sector", we therefore conducted qualitative interviews with a total of 12 experts from the 30 largest electricity network operators in the telecommunications infrastructure sector and discussed the implementation of cybersecurity strategies. The questions dealt with the number and intensity of cyber attacks, responsibilities, control mechanisms, information procurement, top management awareness, risks in the supply chain and future technologies and concepts.
