🔐 Practical Industrial Security: Real-World Lessons from Complex HVDC Projects
We’re excited to announce that our colleague Jan Grotelüschen (GAI NetConsult GmbH) will be speaking at the Industrial Security Conference 2025 in Copenhagen, alongside Simon Gustafson (Amprion GmbH) and co-author Stephan Beirer (GAI NetConsult GmbH).
🎤 Topic of the presentation:
Staying on course in a volatile environment: OT security in complex large-scale HVDC projects – a real-life example
⚡ At a glance:
Amprion is currently implementing massive offshore grid connection projects such as BorWin4/DolWin4 and BalWin1/BalWin2. These high-voltage direct current (HVDC) lines span up to 380 km and deliver 5.8 GW of power per project – enough to supply electricity to nearly 6 million people.
In this presentation, the speakers, who are largely responsible for the specification and monitoring of the implementation of OT security for this HVDC project, will present the projects itself and report on the cyber security challenges and lessons learnt.
🔍 Key OT Security Challenges Covered:
• Dynamic regulation: Adapting to evolving frameworks like NIS-2, RCE, CRA – even mid-project
• Technology vs. longevity: IT/OT convergence meets decades-long system life cycles
• Managing uncertainty: Constant change in technologies, requirements, and stakeholders
📌 This session provides real-world insights into securing critical infrastructure under real conditions – including what worked, what didn’t, and how lessons learned are shaping better security strategies.
