Making Cyber Security Operational
Troels Rahbek Lindhard
Lead Consultant, PEAK Wind - Renewable Services
There is a wide acceptance that cyber security is an important topic, and a general tendency is to focus on the technology and rules for what you can and cannot do.
Cyber security teams often end up as being perceived as police officers setting requirements and processes for the organisation and requiring new expensive hardware and software. But how do you engage the organisation in security?
- What are the key selling points in getting your organisation onboard the journey?
- Balancing security requirements with operational requirements
- Moving from security-oriented focus to solution-oriented focus

How Behavioral Science can Improve Security Behaviors?
Richard Knowlton
Director of Security Studies, Oxford cyber academy
- 95% of cyber-attacks succeed because of human action. That may seem like a high figure, but it's supported by a lot of surveys over several years. And of course we also know just how much effort hackers put into targeting people: it's just so much easier and cost-effective than trying to attack technology. How can we train people to follow security best practice? In cyber terms, how do we stop people clicking on a malicious link, or doing something else that ignores the rules? New advances in behavioral psychology suggest some possible new approaches to managing these issues.

How we have Tackled the Possibility of Cyber-attacks on our Solar Farms?
Panayiotis Nicolaides
Project & Design Supervisor, Green Energy Group
The development of Solar parks in Cyprus, is in moving with very rapid pace. However, with the evolution of the digital technology, it would make sense for our parks to move towards the digital era. This involves digital energy meters, digital communication and measurements and even remote control of key components of the park.
Until today we have been using the method called port forwarding to forward out parks IP addresses, using public IP’s. This method is highly used in Europe but can pose very low resistance towards hackers.
A new way to overcome this would e to use VPN servers along with firewalls to enable IP encryption and firewall systems that can enable to view specific equipment remotely, by using a Static IP address.
What the speech will include:
1. Advantages and disadvantages of port forwarding.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of using VPN connections in solar parks.
3. What we believe can be the next step in securing the solar parks even further.
Let’s Recap - How to Develop a Cyber Security Roadmap for your REN Assets
Are you placing the necessary controls in place to enable your business to remain efficient under attack? Are you able to develop a cyber security roadmap from scratch to secure your assets and have your C-level buy in? This roundtable discussion will help you navigate the complexities of cyber security and what steps you should be taking to develop a roadmap which enables your current infrastructure to be more secure and ultimately reduce risks for your business.
We’ll be looking at how you can:
• Look at your technical gaps
• Segmentate your infrastructure
• Efficiently upgrade firewalls and log in events
• Educate your stakeholders by creating value for them
• Thinking about risks in terms of severity, likelihood, and the impact downstream
• Find the expertise you need by getting an assessment from standard bodies
• Looking at talent and skill set and why you should use unconventional Channels
• Sharing information on threats and collaborate in other ways to improve cyber resiliency
DAY 2 - 07 June 2023
AI and Automation Driven Approach towards Cyber Security in Renewable Energy
Manish Sachan
Cyber Security Lead, Wood Plc
There are too many unpredictable variables like environmental factors in renewable energy generation which can pose as limitations for human decision making, AI and automation can not only help in optimization but also reducing the human error factor. Human errors are a leading cause of cyber security incidents in any organization, thereby reducing it reduces risks of cyber security incidents. Similar to OT closed loop control we need to have a closed loop automation in Cyber Security Solution. Closed loop cyber security solution is AI driven, autonomous, quick to respond and resolves the cyber security incidents without human intervention. Renewable ecosystem is fragmented to smaller units and places, which requires uniformly addressing the cyber resilience across all locations.

Cyber Security in Energy Systems Digitalisation for Net Zero transition
Zoya Pourmirza
Senior Research Associate, Newcastle University
The UK net zero target proposes to reduce 100% of the UK greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (compared to 1990 levels), and digital technologies will play an important role to achieve this target. While digitalisation supports decentralisation and decarbonisation of energy systems by enabling more penetration of distributed energy resources and allowing services such as Demand Side Response, it can cause issues such as Cyber Security challenges. This talk will summarise cyber security challenges within digitalised energy system in the UK, and solutions to tackle these challenges.

Securing Digital Infrastructure for Renewable Energy – Challenges and Opportunities
Shahid Raza
Director of Cyber Security Unit, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden
Future energy systems will be a connected digital infrastructure of renewable sources. Distributed generation and distribution of energy would require interconnections not just between renewable energy sources and systems but also other sectors such as finance, automotive, and smart homes. Cybersecurity will be utmost important for the realization and success of such a digital Infrastructure of interconnected IoT/OT devices, networks, computing edges and clouds, as well as processing and storing of sensitive and personal data. This talk will discuss the opportunities/solutions and challenges of securing a digital infrastructure for renewable energy. It will also highlight how the cybersecurity of such a complex digital infrastructure can be tested in a virtualized testbed, so called cyber range.
