As renewable energy grows in importance, so does the risk of cyber-attacks. In a joint article, experts from Lufthansa Industry Solutions and PEAK Wind address two fundamental questions that every company in the renewable energy sector should be asking itself.
Norderstedt, 8. April 2025 – Renewable energy is fast becoming the mainstay of the world's energy supply. At the same time, they are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals and state-sponsored threat actors. In Germany alone, the damage caused by cyber risks is estimated at €178.6 billion - a trend that is mirrored around the world.
The increasing digitization of industry opens new attack surfaces that require proactive security management. Key standards such as ISO 27001 and IEC 62443 are already in place, but new regulatory requirements such as the EU's NIS2 directive are creating additional challenges. Organizations must not only identify their technical vulnerabilities but also comply with regulatory requirements to avoid financial penalties and security risks.
A new white paper from Lufthansa Industry Solutions and PEAK Wind examines these developments and highlights two fundamental questions that every company in the renewable energy sector should be asking. It also shows how best practices from the aviation industry can be applied to the security strategies of energy companies.
