An extensive knowledge on all relevant IT security risks in the energy infrastructure sector is of vast importance in order to be able to cope with threats to energy infrastructure systems. Learn from practitioners and acknowledged European experts.Today’s energy infrastructures are standing out due to their vulnerability to cyber threats and their dependency on IT. Information technology is absolutely essential for managing networks, systems and supply. Therefore IT and cyber security have become a main task and challenge for operators and utilities. However, the IT security level in the energy sector is lagging behind the “classical” IT in offices and data centers. Network control technology is at high risk. To protect SCADA and real-time systems is one of the most important tasks of IT experts in the energy infrastructure sector. Among the many challenges that have to be faced are cyber attacks, loss of IT systems and insufficient awareness of responsible staff.Main topics covered by the SeminarLatest and most important IT security challenges in the energy sectorIT security technologies for counteracting cyber threatsConsequences of IT system failures and how to manage themTools for testing the reliability of systems and concrete risks for infrastructuresDesigning and implementing of a comprehensive IT security strategyGuarantying information security in smart meteringAdvantages and constraints of using cloud computingThe position of a Chief Information Security Auditor (CISA) Initiatives for enhancing Europe’s energy IT security planned by the European Commission Your contact persons for the programme:Regina Lüning, M.
