Summary

Electric grids are modernizing to support microgrids, smart city devices, automation and grid operations, and integration of distributed energy resources (DERs). In this dynamic environment, utilities face new cybersecurity challenges.

Utilities are combating everchanging cybersecurity threats with a suite of disparate technologies and tools that take time to manage and do not natively work together. Furthermore, cybersecurity teams working for utilities are understaffed, overworked and regularly bombarded with alarms from these disparate technologies. Fortunately, when utilities adopt security orchestration, they can effectively manage security operations, while freeing up time for the cybersecurity team to address threats.

This webinar will cover:

• The importance of security orchestration.
• The role of security orchestration in maturing operational technology resilience.
• Action plans to reduce the risk of exposure for utilities.
• Strategies to comply with industry regulations.
