Beschreibung:
An extensive knowledge on all relevant IT security risks in the energy infrastructure sector is of vast importance in order to be able to cope with threats to energy infrastructure systems. Learn from practitioners and acknowledged European experts.
Today’s energy infrastructures are standing out due to their vulnerability to cyber threats and their dependency on IT. Information technology is absolutely essential for managing networks, systems and supply. Therefore IT and cyber security have become a main task and challenge for operators and utilities. However, the IT security level in the energy sector is lagging behind the “classical” IT in offices and data centers. Network control technology is at high risk. To protect SCADA and real-time systems is one of the most important tasks of IT experts in the energy infrastructure sector. Among the many challenges that have to be faced are cyber attacks, loss of IT systems and insufficient awareness of responsible staff.
