With the rise in cybersecurity threats, the renewable energy sector is increasingly vulnerable to attacks that could cripple utility-scale grids. This session will explore the latest trends in cybersecurity, offering insights into the tools and technologies available to combat these threats. Attendees will learn how to integrate these solutions into their organizations, tailored to their specific needs, as there is no one-size-fits-all approach to cybersecurity.
Pranav Patel and Erik Ruediger of Sunipro will address various types of cyber attacks, from those detectable through monitoring to advanced AI-engineered zero-day threats, emphasizing the need for a robust combination of policies and tools for a swift response. Additionally, Ken Boyce, VP of Engineering at UL Solutions will cover the cybersecurity of DERs, highlighting collaborations with the U.S. Department of Energy and the development of evaluation requirements for these technologies during the energy transition.
By the end of the session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of the significant risks cybersecurity threats pose to the renewable energy sector and will be equipped with concrete steps to mitigate these risks effectively.
