Abstract

Understanding how individuals perceive the value of their personal data in the electrical energy sector is a relevant topic for two main reasons. First, the question of valuing cybersecurity has, to our knowledge, never been tackled within the electricity sector, which is of great interest especially for assessing the correct value of investments in protecting infrastructures. Second, the new market for individual big data is still subject to uncertainty and imperfect allocation, making our practical study on valuing digital sovereignty for individuals relevant as it is rooted in current challenges. In this way, the last chapter of this Quaderno IRCrES Cybersecurity and data protection in the electricity sector: state-of-the-art of the literature and evaluation methods provides a summary of the findings deriving from our extensive literature review as well as past and present experimental activities. We emphasize the theoretical and practical relevance of our representative survey, especially given the strong interest respondents expressed in cybersecurity issues. At the same time, we acknowledge that certain challenges persist and need to be addressed, offering potential lines of research for future projects.

Keywords: Cybersecurity economics, digital sovereignty, electricity sector.
