Cybersecurity and Resilience of Digital Energy Systems (CR-DES)

Updated 16.6.2023 | 09:06

Digitalization and networking of energy systems expose them to cyber attacks that may cripple functioning of energy systems and therefore cause significant damage in society. The goal of this project is to develop cybersecurity skills with respect of digital energy systems.

Goals of the project are as follows:

1) strengthen research, development and innovation infrastructure of energy sector in Ostrobothnia

2) develop cybersecurity competencies concerning digital energy systems in the innovation ecosystem of the region

3) support firms and networks of firms of the region in developing new business models
