When:  Mar 22, 2017 from 11:30 AM to 02:00 PM (ET)
Associated with  Potomac



Meeting Topic & Overview: 

Cyber Scare: The Fact and Fiction of Cyber Threats to the Power Grid
All organization require power in order to operate and any disruption could have a significant impact on that organization ability to accomplish their mission.  Although many risk manager evaluate and treat risk from weather related events that could cause these disruptions, other causes for such an outage is often overlooked. While threats against the power grid must be taken seriously, reporting often does not account for the sector’s resilience.

Explore the claims about cyber risk, the gravity of the threats, the extent of the vulnerabilities and the potential impact. Determine if the configuration of the electric grid creates systemic risk. And examine whether growing regulatory requirements introduce compliance or security.
Learning Objectives: 

  • Apply an analytic approach to clarify the extent of cyber risk for power and utility companies.
  • Define the greatest cyber threats to the power grid.
  • Identify mitigation steps that strengthen the resilience of power and utilities infrastructure.
