Implementing Partnerships in Energy Supply Chain Cybersecurity Resilience
Publisher: MDPI AG
Date: 14-02-2023
DOI: 10.3390/EN16041868
Abstract: This study describes the implementation of an energy sector community to examine the practice of cybersecurity for operational technology environments and their supply chains. Evaluating cybersecurity from the perspectives of different actors participating in the energy sector, the progress and challenges of operators and suppliers in delivering cybersecurity for the sector are explored. While regulatory frameworks incentivize in idual organizations to improve their cybersecurity, operational services contain contributions from many organizations, and this supply chain of activity needs to be influenced and managed to achieve desired security and resilience outcomes. Through collaborations and systems engineering approaches, a reference model is created to facilitate improvements in managing the cybersecurity of supply chains for different actors, including service operators, maintainers, manufacturers, and systems integrators. This study provides an illustration of implementing a common vision of cybersecurity improvement across a community of actors. It utilizes a collaborative framework that has facilitated the co-production of cybersecurity guidance for energy sector participants.

Organisational Contexts of Energy Cybersecurity
Publisher: Springer International Publishing
Date: 2022
DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-95484-0_22
Abstract: The energy system is going through huge transformation to integrate distributed renewable generation and to achieve the goals of net-zero carbon emissions. This involves a significant adjustment to how the system is controlled and managed, with increasing digitalisation of technology and growing complexities across interconnected systems. Traditionally electricity networks adjusted their supply of energy in response to changes in demand. The future energy system will require more flexible demand to be able to use or store energy when renewables are generating. This change is exacerbated by additional demand for electricity for heat and transport uses. Utility organisations hold responsibility for securing their networks and assuring the supply of electricity. This paper describes a full investigation of cybersecurity issues and concerns for utilities. This industry review was carried out to create a clear organisational context for the ongoing design of cybersecurity improvements. The assessment of potential impact and consequences of cyber-attack is recommended to direct necessary preparations towards protecting essential functions and processes. Improving resilience across interdependent actors is discussed and resilience measures suggested to guide the contributions of different actors towards whole system resilience.

EE-ISAC—Practical Cybersecurity Solution for the Energy Sector
Publisher: MDPI AG
Date: 16-03-2022
DOI: 10.3390/EN15062170
Abstract: A recent survey of cybersecurity assessment methods proposed by the scientific community revealed that their practical adoption constitutes a great challenge. Further research that aimed at identifying the reasons for that situation demonstrated that several factors influence the applicability, including the documentation level of detail, the availability of supporting tools, and the continuity of support. This paper presents the European Energy Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (EE-ISAC)—a cybersecurity platform for the energy sector that has been adopted by multiple organisations. The platform facilitates sharing information about cybersecurity incidents, countermeasures, and assessment results. Prospectively, it is envisaged to be integrated with the threat intelligence platform that enables real-time situational awareness. By considering both fault and attack scenarios together, threat awareness can be mapped onto operational contexts to prioritise decisions and responses. This paper analyses EE-ISAC’s approach based on the conceptual applicability framework developed during the research, to improve the applicability and usefulness of this platform for energy sector participants and to identify areas that require further development.
