The U.S. Department of Energy and the National Renewable Energy Lab have launched the Clean Energy Cybersecurity Accelerator to support efforts to modernize the grid and address cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
To address much-needed efforts to address growing cybersecurity issues and also modernize the country’s grid, the DOE and the National Renewable Energy Lab have launched the Clean Energy Cybersecurity Accelerator, as reported from Business & Industry Connection magazine. The new program will also create a grid that will withstand the transition to a clean energy economy in the effort to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
The new program will encourage the rapid development of cybersecurity technologies by creating cohorts of cybersecurity solution providers that will share ideas, experience and threat intelligence as they test and validate their technologies in the lab. More information is available from the DOE website.
With the U.S. industrial sector projected to face 1.9 million unfilled jobs by 2032, according to Deloitte, and equipment failures causing up to 20% production losses, SMBs are under pressure from workforce shortages, costly downtime, rising operating costs, supply chain disruptions and the complexities of adopting Industry 4.0 technologies. “Small- and medium-sized manufacturers are the backbone of our economy and they are dealing with a different set of challenges compared to enterprise-scale manufacturers,” said Chris Stevens, president, Siemens Digital Industries, U.S. “Among these are transparency to performance, workforce readiness, technology integration, cybersecurity and productivity.” For SMB manufacturers navigating today’s complex production landscape, the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio offers a transformative solution.
