Welcome to the second episode of our Energy Talks miniseries titled, Why Should You Talk About Incident Response? Join OMICRON cybersecurity consultant Simon Rommer as he explores the different process steps involved with cyber incident response alongside other experts from the power industry.

In this episode, Simon speaks with Tibor Külkey from ALSEC Cybersecurity Consulting, a leading OT security consultancy in Switzerland. Simon and Tibor discuss the critical importance of preparation, which is the first step in the incident response process according to the SANS Institute, an organization that specializes in cybersecurity training, certifications, and research.

This conversation between OT security experts highlights the need for a proactive approach to cybersecurity in the energy sector, the distinction between general and specific threat scenarios, and the regulatory frameworks in Switzerland compared to the European Union. Most importantly, Simon and Tibor emphasize that incident response preparation is not just about policies but also about ingraining a culture of readiness within organizations.
