The ALiEnS-SOC project is organising its third online workshop under the title “AI for Energy Cybersecurity”, taking place on 19 November 2026, from 12:00 to 14:00 CET. The event will bring together experts from cybersecurity, technology and EU-funded innovation to explore how artificial intelligence can contribute to strengthening cyber resilience in the energy sector.
Artificial intelligence is increasingly being used not only to strengthen cybersecurity but also to develop and carry out cyberattacks. As AI-enabled threats become more sophisticated, cybersecurity measures must keep pace by adopting advanced technologies and innovative approaches to threat detection, analysis and response.
Recognising these challenges, the ALiEnS-SOC consortium is committed to strengthening knowledge and expertise through a series of capacity-building activities. This third workshop forms part of these commitments, providing an opportunity to share expertise, present project findings and explore practical applications of AI in cybersecurity.
Through the development of an AI-based cybersecurity framework, ALiEnS-SOC aims to support the protection of critical energy infrastructure and contribute to a more cyber.
Meet the Speakers and Explore the Agenda
The two-hour workshop will feature four presentations covering European cybersecurity priorities, the energy sector’s cybersecurity landscape, practical applications of AI and technological developments within ALiEnS-SOC.
