Utilities across the globe are telling us that cybersecurity risks and protecting data from intrusion and manipulation are among their highest concerns. To shed light on this critical topic, we are hosting a #CiscoChat to learn how utilities are approaching their cybersecurity strategies on Wednesday, December 7th at 10AM PDT/1PM EDT.
I’ll be joining Patrick Miller, Edna Conway, Marc Blackmer, Eric Ehlers, Jon Judson, Jon Stanford, John Reno, and our moderator @Cisco_IoT as we discuss these questions:
- What are the main threats that Utilities today face in cybersecurity?
- How are Utilities addressing industrial cybersecurity challenges?
- What levels of security have you applied to your substation control infrastructure?
- How are utilities planning against attacks and vulnerabilities?
- How can you mitigate risk introduced by the increasingly connected grid, IoT and IP-based sensors and assets, and the vulnerabilities introduced via the supply chain, your vendors, and customer endpoints?
- Aside from technology, what else should utility companies be doing to manage risk?
