I’m pleased
to announce that I have two speaking engagements in the next few months:
On Thursday April
19 at 9:15, I’ll be participating in a panel discussion at the RSA Security Conference in
San Francisco. My fellow panelists will be Mark Weatherford, former CISO of
NERC; Marc Sachs, former Chief Security Officer of NERC (and head of the
E-ISAC); and Dr. Art Conklin of the University of Houston.
Our topic
will be “How can We Regulate Critical Energy Infrastructure Security?” We are
asking how the cyber security of critical energy infrastructure - oil and gas
pipelines, oil refineries, and of course the Bulk Electric System – can be
regulated in a way that is both cost-effective and adaptable to new cyber
threats. Naturally, we will draw on the power industry’s experience complying
with the NERC CIP standards in our discussion.
The other
talk will be at the Power
Design Delivery Conference in Ketchum, Idaho (which skiers will recognize
as the home of the Sun Valley ski resort. I don’t ski, but I’m looking forward
to the scenery!). I’ll be speaking as part of a keynote panel discussing “Cyber
Security: Threats, Compliance and Practical Protection.” My topic will be “What’s
in Store for Low Impact Assets?” Our
discussion will be at 9:15 AM on the first day of the conference, Wednesday, February
28.
So if you
find yourself in the neighborhood of the Moscone Center in San Francisco or the
Opera House in Ketchum, please come by!
