As IoT becomes embedded in critical infrastructure, security can no longer be an afterthought. The energy ecosystem is only as strong as its weakest link and every new device introduces a potential vulnerability. Outages and cyber incidents will happen – what matters most is how quickly operators can detect, contain and recover when they do.

To limit risk, cybersecurity must be built into every layer of IoT that supports energy systems and infrastructure. Secure connectivity alone isn’t enough. Solutions need to be secure-by-design from the outset, with protection that spans the full lifecycle of device, network and platform development. They must defend against attacks, detect anomalies early and enable rapid recovery when incidents occur.

Regulation such as NIS2, CER and CRA now demands measurable resilience across assets and energy networks. New AI based anomaly and threat detection capabilities are also influencing how connected devices are deployed and secured. In a world of converged energy networks, energy companies can’t afford to get this wrong.  

This session will benefit grid operators, energy companies and technology leaders looking to strengthen the security, resilience and compliance of connected infrastructure. Iain Davidson, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Wireless Logic, will cover:

• How IoT technology can help address cyber-security challenges
• How to build measurable resilience across complex IoT environments 
• How to balance innovation with compliance in an evolving regulatory landscape
