As global sustainability and clean energy megatrends impact how we approach energy strategies toward a greener future for the planet, renewable technologies such as wind and solar are leading areas of focus for research.

To begin, operations technology (OT) and information technology (IT) teams must be aware of three common missteps:

Assuming the team already knows and understands all the risks
