Information and cybersecurity
Networks and information systems play a vital role in our society. The energy sector is of critical importance and depends on these systems functioning even in the event of an attack or breach. An even higher level of preparedness is therefore necessary.
Our responsibility within information security
The Swedish Government has appointed the Swedish Energy Agency as the regulatory authority for the energy sector in Sweden. Thus, we are responsible for supervising compliance with the relevant legislation and associated regulations.
Cybersecurity Act (NIS2)
The NIS2 directive has been implemented in Swedish legislation through the Cybersecurity Act. Read about its scope and requirements for the energy sector.
Cyber security in the energy sector
Cyberattacks on the energy sector can have serious consequences. It is therefore essential to strengthen preparedness and raise the overall level of security.
