8th E.DSO/EE-ISAC/ENCS/ENISA Cybersecurity Forum

Securing the Grid in a Connected World

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), in partnership with the Association of European Distribution System Operators (E.DSO), the European Energy - Information Sharing & Analysis Centre (EE-ISAC), and the European Network for Cyber Security (ENCS), presents the 8th Cybersecurity Forum on October 30, 2025, in Brussels. This high-level conference addresses cyber threats, challenges, and actions necessary to secure Europe's energy infrastructure as geopolitical tensions grow and energy sector digitalization advances.

Conference Focus

Strengthening the cybersecurity of Europe's energy infrastructure has become critical as the sector faces increasing reliance on operational technology and interconnected systems. This year's conference brings together experts from across the energy, cybersecurity, and technology sectors to explore how Europe can accelerate implementation of new cyber regulations, enhance cooperation between public and private stakeholders, and address security challenges posed by evolving supply chains and digital technologies.

Why Attend

The growing digitalization of energy infrastructure combined with heightened geopolitical tensions creates unprecedented cybersecurity challenges for Europe's energy sector. Organizations must understand the investments and collaborative actions needed to ensure a resilient and secure energy grid while navigating complex regulatory requirements and emerging technological threats. This conference provides essential insights for professionals responsible for protecting critical energy infrastructure in an increasingly connected environment.

Key Focus Areas

The conference addresses critical aspects of energy sector cybersecurity:

• Cyber Regulation Implementation: Accelerating adoption and compliance with new European cyber regulations affecting energy infrastructure

• Public-Private Cooperation: Enhancing collaboration between government authorities and private sector operators to strengthen collective security

• Supply Chain Security: Addressing security challenges emerging from complex and evolving supply chain dependencies

• Digital Technology Risks: Managing vulnerabilities associated with operational technology and interconnected systems

• Infrastructure Resilience: Identifying investments needed to build and maintain resilient energy grid operations

• Threat Landscape: Understanding current and emerging cyber threats targeting European energy infrastructure

What to Expect

Throughout the day, participants will benefit from engaging discussions and insightful interventions from energy sector experts, cybersecurity professionals, and technology specialists. The program includes a hands-on demonstration illustrating how vulnerabilities in high-power consumer IoT devices could be exploited to disrupt electricity systems, providing practical insights into the security challenges facing modern energy infrastructure and the defensive measures necessary to protect critical systems.
