Project description

CSG (Cybersecurity governance of operational technology in sector connected smart energy networks) increases significantly the effectiveness and efficiency of cybersecurity of smart energy networks and other operational technology. The project aims at considerable cost savings and scalability through enhanced incident management, data gathering and Artificial Intelligence based automation.

Business Finland funded CSG project will develop a leading-edge cybersecurity system integration reference model to cover the common cybersecurity solutions, processes and architecture for operational technology environments. The model will be validated in several experimental implementations. The model will enable establishment of common and standardized capabilities towards creation of competitive advantage in the global business in securing industrial automation.
