The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has conducted the seventh edition of Cyber Europe, one of the continent’s largest cybersecurity exercises. This year’s event focused on bolstering the resilience of the EU energy sector, which has become a prime target for cyberattacks.

Preliminary findings from this year’s Cyber Europe sought to identify a number of vulnerabilities. The Network and Information Security (NIS) Investments in the EU report by ENISA reports that 32% of operators in the energy sector do not have a single critical operation technology (OT) process monitored by a security operations centre (SOC). Additionally, only 52% of operators of essential services integrate both operational technology and information technology under a single SOC. These gaps, ENISA reports, underscore the need for enhanced investment in cybersecurity infrastructure within the energy sector.
