The threat is growing. So must our cooperation.

 

Cyber threats against Europe’s energy sector are becoming increasingly sophisticated and targeted. Across the Nordic countries, energy organisations face many similar challenges. For small and medium-sized organisations in particular, keeping pace with these developments can be challenging. Strengthening cybersecurity requires collaboration, knowledge sharing and practical solutions that work across borders.

 

On 25 November 2026, the Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen) and NCC-DK, together with the CRESCENDO project, are hosting a Networking Day in Copenhagen.

 

The event will be an opportunity to share experiences, explore innovative cybersecurity solutions and build partnerships ahead of CRESCENDO’s next funding round.

 

What can you expect from the day?

Insights into the Nordic cybersecurity threat landscape.
Hear from cybersecurity experts about the evolving threats facing the Nordic energy sector.

 

Discover innovative projects from CRESCENDO’s first funding round

Learn how projects supported by CRESCENDO are addressing real cybersecurity challenges in the energy sector.

 

Among the projects featured, you will hear about:

• Ethical hacking of Iceland’s power grid: How vetted ethical hackers test the grid’s external security without disrupting operations, and how this approach could be expanded to support energy operators across the Nordics.
• Secure onboarding of electricity suppliers: An innovative project developing a risk assessment tool to help ensure cybersecurity when onboarding new electricity suppliers.
