The energy sector is becoming more connected, distributed and software-defined.Renewable plants, battery storage systems, substations, grid-control platforms and remote operations are increasingly working as part of a single interconnected ecosystem. This energy convergence creates new opportunities for efficiency, flexibility and coordinated control.But it also changes the cybersecurity landscape.Operational Technology environments
Monthly Insights for Smart Energy Leadership August reinforces a structural shift already visible across the power sector: adding capacity is no longer enough. The challenge is making increasingly complex energy systems work as one. Three developments stand out this month: Curtailment and congestion are turning renewable growth into an operational
Acireale, Italy, July 15, 2026 - BaxEnergy team recently visited Qair’ Hyd'Occ project in Port-la Nouvelle, France, to deliver a two-day technical training program and strengthen its ongoing collaboration with one of Europe's most ambitious renewable hydrogen initiatives. Operated by Qair, Hyd'Occ is France's largest renewable hydrogen production unit. Located in Port-la Nouvelle, the project plays a key role in
For years, cybersecurity has often been treated as a technical issue. Today, it has become a strategic business priority. As Europe's renewable energy infrastructure becomes increasingly digital and interconnected, Independent Power Producers (IPPs) are operating environments that are far more exposed than they were only a few years ago. Wind farms, solar parks,
Artificial Intelligence is often described as the defining technology of the next industrial revolution. Governments are investing billions in AI capabilities, hyperscalers are racing to build ever-larger data centers, and businesses across every industry are accelerating digital transformation. Yet one fundamental question is often overlooked: What powers the AI economy?
For years, discussions around OT cybersecurity have focused primarily on technology. Industrial organizations have invested heavily in strengthening their environments through network segmentation, monitoring solutions, asset inventories, vulnerability assessments and an ever-growing number of security controls. These investments remain essential, especially as operational environments become increasingly connected and exposed to
The OT-native Governance, Risk & Compliance platform designed to help industrial organizations centralize governance activities, prioritize cyber risks and transform findings into structured remediation strategies.Acireale, Italy, June 11, 2026 – BaxEnergy today announces the official launch of Ryskore®, its OT-native Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) platform designed specifically for industrial
One of the most common mistakes renewable operators make is treating IEC 62443 as a compliance framework rather than a security architecture. Organizations often focus on aligning documentation and controls with specific requirements, without embedding these principles into real operational processes.The IEC 62443, however, goes far beyond documentation and audit
In the last decade, renewable energy companies have undergone an unprecedented digital transformation. Wind farms, solar plants, battery storage systems, and hybrid grid-interactive assets are now deeply interconnected with corporate networks, OEM ecosystems, and grid operators.This connectivity boosts efficiency, but also dramatically expands the attack surface.According to the World Economic
