Romania to establish Cybersecurity Incident Response Center in Energy

Romania’s Ministry of Energy published on Monday, August 18, an ordinance designed to establish a Cybersecurity Incident Response Center in Energy. The new center will prepare the country’s energy sector to face expected and complex cyber threats, according to its initiators.

The authors of the project say that the liberalization of the national energy market, price fluctuations, and the presence of an increasing number of energy companies on the capital market constitute the premise situation from which cyber attackers start when carrying out an operation against the Romanian state.
