About Special Interest Group

The objective of this Special Interest Group is to bring together industry, academia, and technology providers to understand the cyber threat and how guidelines from regulatory organizations can serve as a starting point for the stakeholders to defend against cyber-attacks. We meet once a month to educate and enable our members from electric power generation, transmission, and distribution organizations to identify and protect their cyber assets so they can detect, respond, and recover from cyber threats. We invite academia so they can understand the challenges facing the industry and create solutions to address them. We invite technology providers to share with us the solutions they have already developed that our members can use to defend themselves.
