Developments in global security have made cybersecurity has become a pervasive concern for operators of critical infrastructures. This is particularly true for critical infrastructures such as power grids. Investments into technology to counter cyber threats constitute an important step. The creation of a cyber framework is needed to make those investments effective. Hitachi Energy have been leading a work group at the World Economic Forum to develop such frameworks. The workgroup consisting of over 50 CISOs and policy makers from across the globe have come up with a set of recommendations for companies in the electricity sector to support the advance of resilient security. In this webinar we will demonstrate the importance of such frameworks, the interaction with stakeholders and how to tie it back to technologies investments.
