The electric utility industry's main goal is to keep the lights on. Prevention of physical and cyber-attacks on the grid is of highest priority. The electric utility industry is the only critical infrastructure sector that is subject to mandatory federal cybersecurity and reliability standards. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is about to release new physical security standards as well. The American Public Power Association's Grid Security Summit is designed to educate decision makers and utility leaders on important policy, legal, and economic issues surrounding cyber and physical security of the electric grid. The program is designed for policymakers, general managers, general counsel, and public communications personnel.
