Stronger security measures are needed as the energy retail sector faces escalating cyber threats

A doctoral dissertation by Mikko Suorsa, to be defended at the University of Vaasa, Finland, reveals that the energy retail sector is an essential yet vulnerable part of the energy industry's value chain and of critical infrastructure. Having received comparatively little attention in cybersecurity efforts, the sector requires strengthened resilience, and the study introduces concrete methods to achieve this. It is one of the first studies to focus specifically on energy retail organizations.
