In the past few years cybersecurity has become a major concern for grid operational systems.
OT has to integrate new functionalities: leveraging Internet connectivity and increased communications among systems while also protecting against incoming threats and providing resiliency during cyber attacks.
In this webinar, we explore how cybersecurity must be a crucial aspect in the design, development and maintenance of OT systems in the electrical sector. We’ll cover international and US regulatory requirements, as well as the standards and leading practices that are being followed to protect and defend our critical electrical infrastructures.
