3rd Next Generation Cyber Security for Utilities
ACI’s 3rd Next Generation Cyber Security for Utilities
With the value of damages caused by cyber-attacks growing rapidly every year, adopting a new and comprehensive approach to cyber security for utilities is more important than ever. Among essential facilities that feel this pressure, few feel it more than our utilities. Cyber incidents have the potential to bring regional economic growth to a grinding halt, especially when they target the lifeblood of our modern civilizations. With threats becoming more sophisticated and gaining better resources, security professionals must continue to adapt and develop their methods of defense and response to ensure the uninterrupted production of our power.
Through a series of presentations, sessions, and panel discussions, this event will cover some of the major current concerns of the industry.
- Leveraging cyber security to achieve resiliency without compromise
- Technological and strategic cyber security options for municipal utilities
- Early detection of threats to operational systems to enhance preparedness
- Building a real-time incident response plan to eradicate malicious files, software, and other harmful threats
- Deploying a set of controls to mitigate cyber attacks
- Analysis of whether to own security operations or to outsource to a third party
- Monitoring weaknesses exposed by guidelines to identify the main vulnerability areas within the organization
- The value of physical and cyber security convergence
- Recovery from breakdown
