2026 Event Schedule

The evolving landscape of grid operations has brought unprecedented challenges—none more elusive or damaging than the rise of insider threats. Modern adversaries can exploit trusted access, blending into daily operations and evading traditional defenses. As the boundaries between operational technology (OT), industrial control systems (ICS), and power system engineering blur, a unified defense is critical.

This immersive workshop is designed to bring together power systems engineers and OT/ICS cybersecurity professionals to tackle one of the most pressing issues facing today’s grid: insider-driven attacks. We will explore the root causes behind the surge in insider threats, dissect real-world scenarios, and reveal how malicious actors can sabotage grid reliability from within.

Participants will discover how simultaneous, real-time monitoring of primary grid assets alongside advanced OT/ICS asset visibility can revolutionize threat detection. Through interactive demonstrations and case studies, we will showcase practical strategies for integrating control room operations with Security Operations Center (SOC) workflows. Attendees will gain hands-on insights into:

• Recognizing early warning signs of insider activity
• Leveraging asset monitoring platforms for holistic situational awareness
• Correlating engineering anomalies with security telemetry across both domains
• Building effective communication channels between engineers and SOC analysts

Whether you are safeguarding critical infrastructure or ensuring grid reliability, this workshop offers actionable tactics and collaborative frameworks to empower your team against the unique challenges posed by insider threats.

Join us to stay ahead in the race to protect the grid’s most vital assets—by leveraging the combined strengths of engineering and cybersecurity.
