Unlock the Secrets of Cyber Security: The growing threat of cyber security in the electrical industry

As the electrical industry continues to grow and develop, ensuring the safety and confidentiality of data and information is more important than ever.  All electrical contracting businesses, regardless of size, rely on connectivity and high-tech capabilities which brings an increased risk of cyber-attacks and data breaches.  Have you the right people, processes and technologies in place to build an effective defence against attacks?  Are you confident that your cyber security measures will protect you against the potential catastrophic consequences?

Join this 2 hour workshop and gain valuable insights that will help protect you and your organisation from cyber threats.  Falling victim to a cyber-attack can not only lead to financial loss but also reputational loss. Some of the consequences include:

• Loss of visibility and data
• Financial loss (e.g. if cyberattack leads to loss of generation, or damages any part of the system)
• Reputational damage (e.g. if cyberattack becomes public, revealing company’s low security measures)
• Loss of opportunities (e.g., virtual power plants require high cyber security standards, potential buyers may require high level of cyber security)
• Increase of insurance premium (cyber security as a condition to offer cover)

Who should attend?

The session is suited to anyone working within the electrical industry.  Whether you are an electrician, business owner, director, office manager or an administration officer.  The workshop will focus on cyber security best practices by providing useful hints and tips on how you can strengthen your cyber security to improve the safety of your information.
