Cyber Security Concerns for Local Government Energy Assurance Planning Webinar

PTI presented this webinar October 18, 2011.

Because cyber security concerns are usually handled by Internet-focused industries and IT departments, local governments may not typically consider vulnerabilities of computer systems to unauthorized use or attack.

However, with the increased use of interconnected, Internet-based technology in the energy industry, and with recent attempts to harm energy sector control systems, cyber security is an increasing concern for energy assurance planners.

To mitigate the risk of cyber attack, it is necessary to harden computer and information systems by making them less vulnerable to external influences.

This webinar walked through the new 15-page LEAP guidance document from PTI that outlines cybersecurity standards, practices and concerns relevant to local energy assurance.

PTI created the guidance document and this webinar as part of its efforts to promote cybersecurity during National Cybersecurity month, October 2011.

Facilitator: Ronda Mosley, Assistant Executive Director for Research and Government Services, PTI
Presenter: Mark Lesiw, Associate, The Cadmus Group, Inc.
