AENAON
Ex-Ante cybersecurity Federated Digital twin-based Cyber Range and managed security services for offshore wind farms
A Digital Europe project that strengthens the cyber-resilience of offshore wind farms and interconnected grid infrastructures by delivering an Ex-Ante cybersecurity Federated Digital Twin-based Cyber Range platform. AENAON enables wind farm operators to simulate IT/OT environments and run realistic attack/defense scenarios, while accessing a suite of preparedness services including vulnerability discovery & penetration testing, security awareness & cyber-range exercises, threat/risk assessment and monitoring, and support for incident investigation and regulatory compliance (e.g. NIS2). The project also builds sector-specific skills through an interactive cyber-range training programme and validates the platform via internal and external pilot operations in advanced European offshore regions.
