Locked Shields: the largest and most complex live-fire cyber exercise in the world cover

e-BO Enterprises participated in Locked Shields 2025, the world’s largest live-fire cyber exercise. Organized by NATO, the event involved over 4,000 participants from 41 countries. The Belgium-Luxembourg-Latvia team, including e-BO Enterprises, defended against simulated cyberattacks, achieving 4th place out of 17 teams. This exercise provided valuable experience and strengthened international partnerships.

The Importance of Strong Passwords

Een cruciaal aspect van cybersecurity is het gebruik van lange, unieke wachtwoorden voor al je accounts, omdat ze je digitale identiteit beschermen tegen hackers. Veel mensen maken echter fouten door zwakke wachtwoorden te gebruiken, wat hen kwetsbaar maakt voor aanvallen.

Cyber security stands or falls with the human factor

“People are the primary attack vector for cyber-attackers around the world. We humans, not technology, pose the greatest risk to organizations,” says Lance Spitzner, Security Awareness Director at SANS and co-author of Managing Human Risk. “The key to effectively managing that risk therefore lies in the professionals who are responsible for the safety awareness programs.”

Wind farms operating as collective units achieve greater efficiency

A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has shown that in a traditional wind farm, the different wind turbines affect each other’s efficiency. This means that wind farms can generate more energy if the turbines aren’t configured individually but collectively as wind farms.

When offshore windmills talk to EV charging stations on the street

Vattenfall has found a way to avoid grid congestion. By allowing windmills and electric cars to communicate with each other about the energy supply and charging requirements, the Swedish energy company wants to ensure that the demand for electric transport does not exceed the capacity of the grid. Vattenfall aims to achieve this with a “smart charging with wind energy” pilot using the new Hollandse Kust West wind farm.

Almost every day, maintenance workers leave for offshore installations to carry out the necessary maintenance work. Components or tools regularly break down, which can lead to some work not being carried out or having to be postponed. This results in a lot of lost time and unnecessary costs.
