Powering the Future: Harnessing Offshore Wind as critical infrastructure and improving operational efficiency through cybersecurity and advanced software applications
Offshore Wind is critical infrastructure and under increasing threat of physical- and cyber-attacks. Russian submarines are being seen spying around European offshore wind farms, hackers never sleep. Policymakers are working on legislation aimed at strengthening the resilience of Europe’s critical infrastructure.
