A cybersecurity framework fit for wind energy
The Network Information Security (NIS) Directive is currently under revision – foreseen to conclude by the end of 2021 – and the Network Code for Cybersecurity (NCCS) is currently under development and foreseen to be in force by the end of 2023. Considering these regulatory developments, this paper highlights specific cybersecurity needs that should be shaping upcoming security rules for wind farm owners and operators and for wind turbine and component manufacturers. It also suggests best practices and existing international standards to be considered in the design of such requirements.
