Cyber Assessments in the OT
EPRI researchers offer quantitative and qualitative cyber
security performance assessments that help utilities identify
gaps and areas to improve overall or topical cyber
security. EPRI’s qualitative assessments deliver objective and
vendor-agnostic recommendations and referenced EPRI
research results that can help utilities prioritize cyber security
investments and mitigation plans.
Insider Threat
Insider security threats are considered one of the most critical threats
facing companies today and into the future. Electric power utilities
need a specific program to manage and mitigate these threats
considering their unique requirements and needs within the
operational domain. While many insider threat programs operate
within the enterprise it is crucial for utilities to consider gaps present
in the OT environment.

EPRI Cybersecurity 2030 Vision and Roadmap
15:15
The electricity sector is nearing an inflection point in the way it
operates as we transition to a new energy system. We must revise
our concepts of OT cyber security and its role to safeguard against
future attacks that attempt to destroy or disable the grid infrastructure.
Cyber security must transition into an essential embedded design of
utility digital transformations and current operations

EU Network Code on Cybersecurity
15:30
16:00
The Network code on cyber security gives sector-specific rules for
cyber security aspects of cross-border electricity flows, including rules
on common minimum requirements, planning, monitoring, reporting,
and crisis management. Once it enters into force it will override the
NIS directive.
