This is the season when experts gaze into their crystal balls, looking to predict the new trends for the year ahead. When it comes to cyber risk, we’re likely to see existing threats – in particular ransomware and phishing – continue to disrupt businesses on a daily basis. In a recent Apricorn survey, 40% of IT decision makers ranked phishing emails as the top cause of data breaches within their organisation; an increase from 35% in 2021.

As the grid modernises, the design of utility cybersecurity solutions need to be rethought to defend against the evolving capabilities of potential attackers. A huge difficulty lies in the selection process of available technologies. This comes with the bigger challenges of implementing and operating these new technologies to harmonise with existing internal utility services. As a result, Smart Grid Forum’s Smart Grid Cybersecurity 2020 conference has been created to solve the strategic, applica
In today’s hyper-connected digital age, it’s not unusual for medium to large-sized companies to have hundreds, or even thousands, of third-party suppliers.
This can range from product suppliers, to billing processors, to cloud providers, and a variety of different services.
