Wind Farm Cyber Security – Deep Dive Guide
Detailed analysis of real life incidents, and guidance on how Connexone helps energy facilities to operate continously
As wind energy becomes a cornerstone of modern power generation, wind farms are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks. These facilities rely on complex, interconnected systems—SCADA, remote monitoring, and thirdparty maintenance access—that create multiple entry points for attackers. Recent high-profile incidents have exposed how ransomware, supply chain breaches, and remote access vulnerabilities can disrupt turbine control, compromise operational data, and threaten energy stability.
Without strong isolation between operational technology (OT) and IT networks, even a minor breach can cascade into widespread downtime or equipment damage. This document outlines real-world attack scenarios and demonstrates how Connexone Data Diodes provide an effective, hardware-enforced solution to secure wind farm operations.
