The rise in cyberattacks against energy critical infrastructure impacts consumers, government agencies, and institutions. During this session, we will discuss the three principles for engineering resiliency into operational networks. Principle 1: Segmentation| Leveraging segmentation to reduce cyber risk when protecting operational systems, including Advanced Distribution Management Systems, SCADA Systems, Smart Meters, and Substations. Principle 2: Detection | Designing detection and response systems to reduce the impact of an attack yet supporting both modern and legacy equipment without impacting the safety and uptime goals of the business Principle 3: Automation| Automating tracking and reporting to support regulatory compliance as a part of a business risk reduction.
