Utility Resilience: Safeguarding against physical and digital threats workshop

Minnesota cities and local utility companies face an imposing array of physical and cyber risks that are very real and increasing by the day. The adversary may be a prankster, a disgruntled current or former employee, a hacker, or a part of something much worse.

Like all businesses, public power and other hometown utilities are potentially exposed to vandalism, theft, and data breaches involving personal information of employees, customers, and vendors. However, utilities face an even greater risk when they are exposed to cyber espionage, cyber extortion, and cyber-attacks that manipulate or destroy utility control systems and the equipment they operate and rely on. Whether bad actors try to break into a substation or hack your IT system, you want to be ready—and this workshop will help you prepare.

Join MMUA and a host of experts who will offer valuable insights that can help you identify and mitigate these imposing threats. You will learn how to protect your vital systems, infrastructure, and reputation.
