Why your views matter

The NCCS will affect many stakeholders within the energy sector and will have revolutionary changes when it comes to the cross-border cybersecurity incidents. This is the first Network Code that will affect everyone – small and big businesses, TSOs, DSOs and other relevant parties. We all agree that cybersecure environment is the goal for many of us, but it is yet to be strengthened whether we all can agree on the actions to be taken.
