Upcoming Discussion: A Risk-Based Approach to Bridging the Energy Sector Security Gap

Wednesday June 30, 2021 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST

NERC has recently partnered with the Department of Energy (DOE) to expand the Cybersecurity Risk Information Sharing Program (CRISP) to include operational technology. The program is aimed at protecting the security of the North American high voltage electric grid. However, NERC’s regulations are not expansive enough to fully prepare organizations to manage and mitigate the cyber and operational risks that come with the migration to new digital operational technology.

In this session, experts from ServiceNow and Iceberg Networks will discuss how organizations can protect themselves and mitigate disruptions to their critical services using the ServiceNow platform. You will also learn how to take a risk-based approach to mature your cyber and operational resilience programs.

What you will learn in this session:

  • How organizations can minimize risk or avoid disruption of operations with a mature operational resilience program
  • How to prioritize which vulnerabilities pose the greatest threat and how to prioritize and plan for remediation
  • How to address the compliance hurdle that comes with new regulations to close these security gaps
  • How ServiceNow can bridge the risk and security gap of digital OT devices

Hear from our subject matter experts:
Mitch Blackburn, Global Head of Energy & Utilities Industry Solutions, ServiceNow
Michael DeLoach, Solution Consultant, Iceberg Networks
