Panel Discussion: Protecting Electrical Infrastructure from Cyber Attacks
Track/Summit: Energy Technology Summit
Session ID#: TS2084
Abstract: According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, power outages and disturbances cost the US between $119 billion and $188 billion a year. To reduce these costly unplanned outages, intelligent electronic devices are being developed to improve grid operation reliability. However, the deployment of these networked measurement and control devices also raises cyber security concerns. As the grid goes digital, how do we protect our electrical infrastructure from cyber attacks? Join us for a panel discussion with cyber security experts from national labs, utilities, industry, and academia.
