Located at Stand 7135 in Hall 7, the company is set to feature technologies aimed at delivering secure, reliable, and affordable electricity globally. The event will also provide a platform for engaging discussions on topics such as hydrogen’s role in energy, accelerating the net-zero transition, future energy grids, and financing the energy transition.

Whitepaper Release: Strategies for Securing Smart Grids

A highlight of GE Vernova’s presence at ADIPEC is the launch of its whitepaper, “Securing Smart Grids: Strategies and Best Practices”. The document underscores the increasing role of software in managing grids to improve security, resilience, and reliability. It addresses critical challenges posed by the rising frequency of cyberattacks on digitalized energy networks. Notably, corporate networks experienced a 30% surge in weekly attacks during Q2 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

The whitepaper offers actionable recommendations, including:

• Using AI and machine learning to enhance grid security
• Employing secure communication protocols
• Implementing best practices such as zero-trust architecture, patch management, and asset management
• A UAE-based case study showcasing a tailored cybersecurity solution to reduce risks and improve operational resilience
