How automation is redefining resilience in energy networks

Blackouts, cyberattacks, and rising costs are redefining what resilience means for today’s energy networks. Here’s how automation is becoming the sector’s prerequisite to stay secure, compliant, and operational — and how testing ensures it all works as planned. ➡️ https://okt.to/KbJ1Th #cybersecurity #automation #energy Spirent Communications

Energy resilience costs are soaring: 💸 $25M+ upfront investment 💸 $1–3M annually in testing/monitoring Automation flips the equation: scalable, repeatable, efficient. Resilience that saves time, money & lives. https://okt.to/NJneBA #cybersecurity #automation #energy

🔐 Cybersecurity isn’t just a checkbox, it’s the backbone of our digital energy future. As we keep pushing for smarter, more connected energy systems, every new device and data point brings incredible potential, but also new vulnerabilities we can’t afford to ignore. ⚡️ That’s why I was really glad to contribute to our latest Codibly article on Security by Design. We dive into why following standards like IEC 62351-3 and embedding security principles from day one isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s non-negotiable if we want to build trust in VPPs and DERMS. It’s not just about protecting data. It’s about protecting the reliability of the grid, the people who depend on it, and the progress we’ve made toward a smarter, cleaner energy system 🌍 You can find the link to the full article in the comments 👇 #Cybersecurity #SmartGrid #DERMS #VPP #EnergyTransition

The modern grid runs on digital systems that connect power generation, distribution and customers in real time. But as these connections continue to expand, so do the opportunities for cyberattacks. Digital advancements in distributed energy and metering systems are creating new vulnerabilities, requiring utilities to manage cybersecurity risk at every layer of the grid while maintaining regulatory compliance and addressing supply chain gaps. Our latest white paper explores these challenges in depth and offers practical strategies to help protect critical infrastructure. https://hubs.li/Q03Nj5Qg0 #Cybersecurity #GridModernization

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month—a timely reminder that clean energy innovation and digital protection go hand in hand. At Franklin Energy, we don’t just build energy solutions—we build trust. From customer data to connected platforms, cybersecurity underpins every step of our work with utilities, states, and communities. As threats evolve, so must our approach. That means constant vigilance, smart design, and partnerships that prioritize safety and transparency. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #CleanEnergyFuture #DataSecurity

🚨 Cyber threats to Operational Technology (OT) are escalating and modernization is our best defense 🔐 In his latest article for Automation.com, Charles Bennett, Global Head of Service at ABB Energy Industries, says it’s no longer a question of if, or whether a cyber attack succeeds, but how many times and in how many different ways it will succeed. With 90% of major energy firms reporting breaches, Charles lays out a compelling case for why modernizing heritage control systems is critical to preventing OT cyberattacks. A must-read for anyone in industrial operations, cyber security, or energy infrastructure 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/en6y_hh5 #ABBenergyIndustries

More electric co-ops can get financial assistance to harden their operations against cyberattacks thanks to an additional $5 million from the Department of Energy for a cybersecurity program run by NRECA. Read more: https://bit.ly/4nEElvZ

With October being Cybersecurity Awareness Month, there’s no better time to talk about the critical intersection of energy and cyber resilience. As the energy sector becomes increasingly connected, the risks to OT environments grow more complex. A single cyber incident can have far-reaching impacts on safety, reliability, and national infrastructure. That’s why we’re proud to support the mission of stronger energy cybersecurity with Cyber Energia — our SaaS platform designed to protect critical energy OT systems with real-time visibility, advanced threat detection, and rapid response capabilities. #cybersecuritymonth #energycybersecurity #energyOT
