Securing the Wind Energy Sector Among Growing OT Threats

As the percentage of wind and other renewable energy systems grows among power generators, cybersecu- rity For integrated control systems has become an increasingly important and urgent matter. The wind energy sector's information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems are being increasingly under attack and itis time for the sector to secure its systems against cyber criminal attacks.

Due to the digitization of infrastructures and the increasing adoption of lloT sensors such as temperature, torque, vibration, wiring and housing integrity the traditional IT/OT operational hierarchy is converging. This approach for the wind energy sector creates more security risks since conventional cybersecurity methods and mainstream IT products do not necessarily translate to ICS environments.
