The Dark Side of Solar 🌒 Taking a deeper look at the role of cybersecurity in the future of renewables 🛡 💾 Back when the internet was created, its creators hardly factored in security. Decades later, and we are *still* paying for that with billions spent annually on retrofitting internet communications for a zero-trust world (eg. TCP\IP protocol, BGP Routing). 💡 Renewable energy follows a similar track to become tomorrow's energy infrastructure. Will we invest today for a secure tomorrow? Or fail to learn the age old saying: "prevention is better than a cure". 🌑 Incredible insights from our very own Uri Sadot - Cybersecurity program director on the state of cybersecurity in this article for Security Journal UK (SJUK). For the full read: https://okt.to/t7YfGB 🥚 [Easter egg alert]: One minor technical error by the editor inside - a shout out to whoever spots it first

Office of Energy Justice and Equity needs to be a leading force in any energy transition effort. Without #EnergyJustice, grid modernization is not going to improve people's lives and energy transition efforts are not going to result in real clean energy. We know this from working in the #BoricuaEnergyJustice.
📅 Reminder: Join DOE in Arlington, VA, February 5-8, 2024, for the Energy Transition Summit: Grid Modernization Initiative and Clean Energy Cybersecurity. Attendees will learn about opportunities to engage with DOE-led efforts that are modernizing the future power grid and enabling a more resilient, secure, and equitable energy transition.

Former Chairman and CEO Illinois Commerce Commission • Vice President Government and Industry Relations • Board Member • Advisor
The Energy Department’s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response developed the guidelines with input from energy automation and industrial control system manufacturers, as well as the Idaho National Laboratory, which specializes in cybersecurity research. The department lists 10 best practice areas for both suppliers and end users. They include priorities such as maintaining vulnerability management processes for suppliers that follow industry best practices, as well as providing product support, including security patches and mitigations throughout the lifecycle of an end user transaction. "The DOE has released a new framework of best practices for securing clean energy cyber supply chains, including key technologies used to manage and operate electricity, oil and natural gas systems. For end users, the department encourages the inclusion of contractual language for “those terms, conditions, and testing requirements that will influence your security outcomes,” and working with suppliers to fully understand and integrate appropriate cybersecurity controls and platforms. The U.S. is not alone in its boosted efforts related to manufacturing cybersecurity — the issue was discussed among leaders at the G7 Summit in Apulia, Italy, earlier this month. Officials there committed to “continue discussions” on how to improve cybersecurity resilience in key sectors, including how to improve supply chain security. “As new digital clean energy technologies are integrated, we must ensure they are cyber secure to prevent destruction or disruption in services,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a June 18 White House statement. “The G7 will work to establish a collective cybersecurity framework for operational technologies for both manufacturers and operators.” https://lnkd.in/gH-FnFEg

Looking forward to the opening presentation later this month at the Utility Cyber Security Forum in Chicago. I hope you all can join us! https://lnkd.in/dzsgPzpn The global transition to renewable energy sources is gaining momentum across various sectors. As we embrace this shift, it is crucial to address the security challenges that arise when integrating renewable energy into existing infrastructure. One major concern is the presence of adverse suppliers in the renewable energy supply chain. While expanding renewable energy is essential, efforts are underway to reduce dependence on these products due to cybersecurity risks. Protecting energy infrastructure during this transition requires a multifaceted approach to cybersecurity. Stakeholders must prioritize the development and implementation of robust cybersecurity measures. This involves securing communication networks and employing strict access controls to prevent unauthorized entry. Additionally, adopting secure software design principles, regularly updating and patching software systems and fostering a cybersecurity-aware culture among personnel involved in the renewable energy sector are crucial. This talk will explore the global challenges facing the renewable and utility space, along with some potential solutions for the future of the sector.
