Written by The Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 has showed a clear conclusion for the energy sector: Cybersecurity is no longer a technical element is just a strategic business factor.
This message takes on particular relevance in the current geopolitical context. The war in Iran has highlighted the fragility of the energetic model based on fossils, with direct impacts on prices, supply and global stability. Dependency on centralized and exposed infrastructures has become a structural risk.
OT Cybersecurity: from technical necessity to the executive priority
The digitalization of energetic infrastructures, especially in the renewable sector, is expanding the attack surface.
It is no longer just about protecting, detecting quickly, and/or responding, but about critical infrastructures hardening to ensure resilience and operational continuity, minimizing risk or mitigating impact when—sooner or later—an attack succeeds.
MWC 2026 has reinforced this vision, highlighting the role of artificial intelligence and automation in threat detection and response within industrial environments.
New Cybersecurity challenges must ideally be addressed by design or tackled at their root. Without a solid OT Cybersecurity foundation, the energy transition risks to replicate vulnerabilities in an even more complex environment.
Anigy Digital Advisors: security for the new energetic model
In this scenario, Anigy Digital Advisors a key player in OT critical infrastructures hardening in the renewable sector, currently working with some of the most important worldwide companies in the industry.
The value is clear: operating securely in a context where risk is constant and global.
The war in Iran has exposed the dependence on fossil fuels. Enabling a secure energy transition means making it sustainable, but also resilient—if we don’t want to lose our way along the journey.
