Managing Cybersecurity Risks in a Rapidly Expanding Electric Grid

As utilities rapidly expand electric grids and prepare for transitions from centralized to distributed grids and creating new interconnections, consideration of cybersecurity requirements is paramount. Transmission system operators, distribution system operators, and market operators must incorporate distributed energy resources into the electric grid and accommodate independent power producers, generally, but this creates new communication and control requirements which must be secure. This webinar addressed considerations for security of integrations between transmission, distribution, and market operations systems.
