Existing and Emerging Threats to the Energy and Power Industry:
The effectiveness of the activities vendors, utilities, and stakeholders in general partake in as we work towards securing the Smart Grid are difficult to gauge without metrics. What is particularly challenging today is trying to determine what to measure, and against what baseline. Join this session for an open discussion about establishing and auditing Smart Grid security metrics, and what value we hope to derive from them.

A coordinated public-private response to an advanced cyber attack through next generation methods and technologies encapsulated in a new notion of Security Operation Centers for the Smart Grid. Asset owners, vendors, and government are continuously working to develop and improve the cybersecurity of smart grid systems. Our diligent efforts are necessary to proactively reduce, mitigate or even thwart cyber attacks against the smart grid resulting in minimal disruptions to consumers, businesses, federal agencies, and the Nation. A key element to addressing a cyber attack is our ability to detect and respond to an event in a timely manner. Join this session where representatives from the public and private sectors will walk us through a simulated and an intelligent coordinated response to an advanced cyber attack
