Course Overview

In today's world, the rapid growth of green technologies has revolutionized industries by introducing sustainable and energy-efficient solutions. However, as these technologies become increasingly connected and digitalized, they also expose new vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cyber threats. Understanding both green tech and its intersection with cybersecurity is essential for professionals working in energy, tech, and sustainability sectors. This course introduces the fundamentals of green technology, its environmental impact, and the urgent need to secure these systems in an age where cyberattacks are evolving rapidly.  

This course begins with an overview of the green tech era, commonly used devices, and how they help conserve critical resources like time, energy, and bandwidth. It then shifts focus to the increasing rise of cyber threats, including common vulnerabilities and use cases, highlighting best practices for cyber hygiene. Learners explore how green tech and cybersecurity intersect—examining real-world incidents, the role of startups, and security strategies. The course also delves into major cyberattacks on energy systems, disaster recovery plans, and active approaches to building resilience. Finally, it presents global and EU-driven green and cybersecurity investment initiatives, followed by a comprehensive recap tying all concepts together.  

This course equips learners with the knowledge to assess and protect green technologies, emphasizing proactive security strategies and sustainable practices for a safer digital and environmental future.
