Conference Alert: SANS ICS Summit coming up fast

Smart Grid Security Blog readers: heads-up. I've decided that this year the time has come to do a massive press on Operational Technology (OT) Security issues.  I think the reason for the timing is obvious, but I'll make my case in a future post when I have more time.

And this won't be just for the US and North America, and it won't be limited solely to the electric sector. We'll look at OT security challenges and efforts in other industrial equipment-oriented critical infrastructure sectors.

But for now, get ready to see some announcements for upcoming conferences and webinars on this topic by some of the best and most experienced folks in the business. Details on the first one are right here:
