Working Group 2: "Digitalization and Protection of Critical Energy Infrastructure"
The German and Israeli governments are increasingly concerned about the resilience of their critical energy infrastructures in the face of cyber-attacks. These attacks could potentially cause power outages by manipulating systems, engaging in espionage, or blackmailing network operators. To combat this threat, energy companies are investing in cybersecurity measures, creating appropriate security standards, and conducting research. The working group's goal is to promote knowledge-sharing between Germany and Israel to enhance the resilience of their critical energy infrastructures against cyber security incidents. This will involve sharing best practices, developing suitable security standards, and fostering research in the field.
The cybersecurity industry in Israel is flourishing, featuring a variety of companies that provide advanced products and services. These companies are highly regarded for their innovative approach and specialized knowledge, resulting in a strong global market presence.
