Gypsy Lane Technologies supports digital transformations underway in critical infrastructures. While this transformation is setting the groundwork for economic growth, social stability, and improved health care across the region, critical infrastructure modernization efforts simultaneously create vulnerability. As system controls become more complex — for instance, to control variable renewable energy and/or automatically reroute power during outages — there are more opportunities to disrupt the production and delivery of essential services like electricity, natural gas, telecommunications, and health care and financial services. For instance, electric utilities in Eastern Europe alone have reported a 400 percent increase in cyber-attacks since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is likely only a matter of time before the consequences of these attacks move from inconvenience or financial loss to mass failures and loss of life.
