Energy Cyber Priority 2023: Closing the gap between awareness and action

Is the energy industry keeping pace with cyber security threats?


DNV’s new global report Energy Cyber Priority: Closing the gap between awareness and action, explores the changing attitudes and approaches to cyber security in the energy sector. It draws on a timely survey of 600 energy professionals, complemented by in-depth interviews with experts from leading energy sector companies including Equinor, Dominion Energy, Vattenfall, Institute for Security and Safety, Skagerak Energi, SCADAfence, and DNV.

Our research finds that the energy industry is more aware of cyber security threats and is increasing investment to address them. This comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions, emerging compliance requirements, and the accelerating adoption of digitally connected infrastructure. Our research finds that greater focus is needed on securing safety critical systems.

As recognition grows of cyber security’s role as an enabler of digital transformation and the energy transition, DNV believes it’s particularly important to explore the state of cyber security in the energy industry.
