Cyber-Secure
Quantum-ready
Energy Infrastructure

Modern energy systems—from renewable generation to smart grids—are becoming more digitally connected and thus more vulnerable to cyber threats. At the same time, the arrival of quantum computing introduces new risks to cryptography that underpins grid security. A forward-looking approach requires both cybersecurity resilience and quantum readiness.
