Background:Cybersecurity risk has evolved from merely an IT issue to a core strategic and operational challenge, especially due to the convergence of IT and vulnerable, legacy Operational Technology (OT) systems. Recent, high-impact attacks (Colonial Pipeline, MWAA, Volt Typhoon) on critical infrastructure demonstrate that disruptions are inevitable and lead to severe financial, operational, and reputational costs,…
Protecting critical infrastructure becomes more important each day as the frequency of cyber attacks and the number of attackers continues to grow. State adversaries are no longer the only ones targeting these specialized environments. Today’s attackers include ransomware groups, hacktivists, cyber mercenaries, and more. ICS/OT cyber security can seem complicated and even daunting at first,…

As Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) take on mission-critical grid roles, organizations need better ways to understand and communicate OT cyber risk. This session explores how Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) can be used to structure credible cyber scenarios, guide mitigations, and support early-stage risk quantifications. Attendees will gain practical frameworks for translating cyber risk into engineering,…

An organization’s resilience hinges on its financial capacity to endurechallenges. This workshop will teach participants to model cyber risk infinancial terms through hands-on exercises. Bring your laptop; each participantwill receive a SaaS account for exercises and report development. Acomplimentary test-drive subscription to the software will be available forpost-conference use. Participants will model and report on…
This will be a working session where the participants suggest ideas for OT Cybersecurity concerns related to Unified Namespace (UNS) and then work through solving those. Depending on the time allotted, we will start with the top 5, and go from there.
Utilities rarely have the luxury of starting from scratch. Instead, they must integrate new digital infrastructure, modern communications, and advanced monitoring technologies into environments built across multiple decades of engineering standards and operational practices. This panel examines how utilities manage that reality. Panelists will discuss practical strategies for navigating environments where greenfield projects, brownfield upgrades,…
Your OT perimeter is gone. It wasn’t breached by hackers; it was dismantled by EV chargers and smart inverters. As we connect critical infrastructure to consumer-grade IoT, the attack surface is expanding faster than we can patch. This session offers a survival guide for the decentralized grid. We’ll ditch the buzzwords to provide practical architectures…
OT incidents drive real financial and safety consequences. Learn how leading industrial teams quantify cyber‑physical loss, prioritize mitigation, and close the insurance gap between cyber and property coverage—so you can defend budgets, reduce downtime risk, and make smarter retain‑vs‑transfer decisions.
