Presented by Energy Central, the webinar will be hosted by Scott Neifert, Manager CIP Information Security & Compliance, Exelon and Richard Jones, VP of Grid Security, BRIDGE Energy Group. The online event is a must-attend resource for any utility professional concerned with grid security. Attendees will learn:

• The elements of the grid security process and technology stack.
• To use compliance as a means to improve the security posture.
• How to meet NERC CIP deadlines and maintain a secure grid.
• To build a model that operationalizes new compliance and security activities at transmission and substation facilities.

"Today's utilities are a mix of multi-vendor, legacy and new technologies and associated processes," Jones said. "Enhancing protective measures for these assets-at-risk by the April 1 compliance deadline and then sustaining the appropriate posture to meet the evolving cybersecurity and NERC CIP requirements is a boardroom level concern at most utilities today. It is important to get it right."
