Topic roadmap for the ‘Cybersecurity in the electricity industry’ platform

Cybersecurity continues to be an increasingly important topic for the energy sector. In addition to the number of attacks and their levels of professionalism, the requirements of German and European legislation are also growing, while at the same time the target group of these laws is expanding. The Cybersecurity in the Electricity Industry platform is an exchange platform for representatives of stakeholders in the electricity and digital industry as well as for authorities and associations. The aim of the platform is to share knowledge, experience and solutions in order to make progress in the area of cybersecurity in the electricity industry and reduce the barriers to implementing current and future legal requirements and standards. To this end, a topic roadmap was developed in cooperation with the Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. and the partners of the industry platform, which serves as the basis for the debates to be held. The study identifies seven fields of action that are categorised as particularly relevant.
