The Energy Sector is highly targeted by cyber threats because of its inherent value and profitability. Recent reported security incidents verify its key playing role in the entire economic and societal concurrent reality. This paper aims to assess the cyber-security culture status of European representatives in the entire electrical power supply chain during the coronavirus pandemic and the Ukrainian war. An evaluation campaign has been carefully designed and held from 3rd March 2022 to 18th March 2022. During that period, participants from different Electrical Power and Energy Systems (EPES) organizations participated in the campaign. Gathered results were analyzed and co-examined using different techniques revealing important findings regarding the cyber-security status and resilience of individuals and organizations in the European EPES sector.
