"The number one export of North Korea is cybercrime."

In the first episode of 2025 of Raw Green, Francesco De Lieto sits with Uri Sadot, Cybersecurity Program Director of SolarEdge Technologies ( https://www.solaredge.com/en ), to discuss the increasing threat of cyber attacks on renewable energy systems, particularly solar power plants.

They explore the vulnerabilities of these systems, the role of cybersecurity in companies like SolarEdge, and the differing regulatory approaches between the EU and the US.

The conversation highlights the potential catastrophic consequences of cyber attacks on energy grids, the motivations behind such attacks, and the importance of identifying vulnerable components within energy systems. 

The dialogue also explores the dual nature of AI as both a beneficial and potentially harmful technology, emphasizing the necessity for responsible development and implementation in the energy sector.

The episode is produced and sponsored by OBE, a sustainability consultancy firm specialised in Life Cycle Assessment, research and green technologies.
