Cyber Security in Decentralized Power Generation Plants Services
Increasing connectivity poses major challenges for the operational security of decentralized power generation plants, especially in critical infrastructures (CRITIS). Previously isolated areas must be secured against cyber attack possibilities and secure environments for Industry 4.0 products and control systems must be created in accordance with the EU Cyber Security Act. The complexity in the area of IT security is also constantly increasing due to the digitization of industrial control systems, rapidly growing technology for Industrie 4.0, and increasing interconnectivity between industrial data networks (OT) and enterprise data networks (IT). Hacker attacks on the power suppy of critical infrastructures, such as large hospitals, are on the rise and in the past have already led to a temporary loss of emergency power supply with devastating consequences.
Companies and facilities, which by definition are not yet part of the CRITIS applications, such as smaller hospitals, are also being affected by cyberattacks at a sharply increasing rate.
Industrial control systems (IACS), 20% of which are used in the energy sector, are increasingly showing vulnerabilities with regard to cyber security.
