At ESCO, representatives from the World Bank's energy mission conducted a training session focused on enhancing cybersecurity.

The training, spanning two days, was specifically tailored for the management team and staff members of the Electricity System Commercial Operator.
Among contemporary challenges, the protection of data and adherence to cybersecurity standards are pertinent.

In line with the Law of Georgia "On Information Security," ESCO holds a position within the first category of organizations managing information systems. This entails outfitting the organization with adaptable information security management systems to guarantee regulatory adherence, along with informing and preparing employees to thwart cyber threats.

Furthermore, a meeting was convened between the Electricity System Commercial Operator and the World Bank mission group at the close of the previous year in the format of preparatory consultations for ISO 27001 certification.

The overarching objective of the World Bank's energy mission is to provide support for renewable energy initiatives, thereby enhancing energy security. Through programs such as the ESPIRE program and assistance with projects like the Black Sea Submarine Cable (BSSC), the mission aims to facilitate the development of electricity transmission networks and ensure that energy companies adhere to international safety standards in managing their information systems.
