About Session

Technical Level: Intermediate

Amprion, one of Germany’s key transmission system operators, is building large-scale HVDC projects to deliver offshore wind energy across the country. This session explores the OT cybersecurity challenges in these decade-long projects, including evolving EU regulations (NIS2, RCE, CRA), IT/OT convergence, and managing long system lifecycles. Learn how Amprion develops and adapts OT security requirements, integrates new regulations mid-project, and addresses the complexity of unmanned offshore stations. Real-world lessons and project management insights will be shared from the BorWin4/DolWin4 and BalWin1/BalWin2 initiatives.
