Cybersecurity for Energy

The Cybersecurity for Energy team is an international, interdisciplinary group focused on protecting and enhancing the resilience of modern energy systems against cyber and hybrid threats. We bring together experts in cybersecurity, energy engineering, data analysis, and international security to address both the technical aspects of infrastructure protection and the strategic, geopolitical, and societal context in which these systems operate.

Our expertise spans the cybersecurity of decentralised energy resources, resilience and security culture of energy infrastructure operators, in-depth analysis of geopolitical and hybrid threats, and the development of methodological frameworks and analytical tools for security and resilience assessment. We apply advanced scenario-based and experimental approaches that integrate technical modelling with empirical validation of crisis preparedness and the effectiveness of response mechanisms.

We have long-standing experience in delivering contractual, national, and international research and applied projects, and can guide partners from initial analysis and solution design through to practical validation. We are a reliable and proactive partner for the public, private, and academic sectors, open to new challenges and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Join us in strengthening the cybersecurity and resilience of modern energy systems.

MAIN TEAM ACTIVITIES:

• Security: We develop and validate methodologies for the cyber protection of modern energy technologies, combining technical expertise, legislative knowledge, and strategic analysis. Through experimental testing and threat modelling, we assess the security and compliance of new systems and translate the results into standards and certification frameworks ready for practical use.
• Resilience: We conduct experimental simulations of crisis scenarios to measure and enhance the resilience of decentralised energy infrastructure. Our programmes include both tabletop exercises — designed to verify and improve existing plans and procedures — and Concept Development Assessment Games, which provide a controlled environment for exploring and validating new concepts, strategies, and technologies before they are deployed. The insights gained are directly applied to the design and validation of crisis management methodologies in the energy sector.
• Analysis: We conduct research on geopolitical and hybrid threats, legislative changes, and technological trends with a direct impact on the energy sector. We combine strategic analysis with data modelling to create tools for predicting risks and opportunities that can be integrated into our partners’ decision-making processes and long-term security planning.
