Is your C-suite prepared for the (cyber) future?

The electric utility landscape managed by the C-Suite of the 21st century is shifting fast, which presents leaders with an array of changes, challenges and opportunities – managing cyber security effectively is of utmost importance.

The steady push towards a secure and DynamicEnergy™ system is bringing a broad range of new technologies that encourage on-site generation and two-way power flows.

However, these increasingly interconnected approaches mean that Next Generation Energy utilities will face a much wider range of cyber threats, and thus, it will be important for utilities to bolster their overall cyber risk posture and adopt new and broader risk management practices.

It is critical for the NGE C-Suites to recognize the changing nature of the cyber security landscape under their domain and ensure that they have right defenses in place, effective governance and performance metrics, supported by a flexible and effective enterprise oversight program.
