FOREWORD The energy market holds a hot commodity

“ Energy is the most vital resource of our time . Renewable energy is that of the future ”

Increasingly digital energy infrastructure coupled with global-scale criticality makes energy a significant target for hackers looking to impact networks , supply chains , and ultimately countries .
The past few years have shown us how demand for security has evolved both in terms of cybersecurity — protecting the internet of energy — and physically with the detrimental nature of energy supply chain disruption . The energy sector has become a high-priority target and is impacted by international instability achieving global recognition as a major resource — even more so than in previous years .
As a result , energy is the commodity that everyone is talking about and , in order to avoid global disruption , localising is the necessary solution that can still support worldwide distribution .
