Cybersecurity in future energy systems: outlooks and recommendations

This chapter provides future outlooks and recommendations/perspectives on the digitization of future energy systems. Cyberattacks are often viewed as a low-probability, high-consequence event. Complacency in the face of changing information and the information on the scope of the cybersecurity risk is growing ever more concerning. When confronted with a complex problem like cybersecurity, finding a solution can be done by visualizing the problem in five elements: vulnerability, threat, consequence, probability, and response. This chapter concludes with our remarks on the obstacles and suitable practices/guidelines, which are most suited for different sectors of grid operation.
