Cybersecurity in Power Engineering Goes Beyond Data Protection

Digital energy systems comprise substations, control systems, sensors, communication channels, software solutions and vast datasets. As power systems become smarter, protecting them becomes increasingly important.

Students on the 01.04.04 Artificial Intelligence in Electric Power Engineering programme take Cybersecurity in Power Engineering.

They examine threats to energy facilities, protection of digital systems and why cybersecurity must be an integral part of engineering solutions.

The course connects cybersecurity with actual power engineering applications. It is not only about abstract information protection, but also the reliability of facilities, equipment, data and control systems.

Future AI specialists in power engineering need to understand that intelligent solutions must be secure as well as accurate.
