How Should We Think About Securing Critical Infrastructure? - Part 1
In the first part of the afternoon panel discussion, General Michael V. Hayden, Former Director of the CIA and the NSA, Dr. Douglas Maughan, Division Director, Cybersecurity Division, DHS/S&T/HSARPA, Tim Conway, Technical Director - ICS & SCADA programs, SANS, Steve Orrin, Federal Chief Technologist, Intel Corp., and Jeremiah Grossman, Professional Hacker and Chief of Security Strategy, SentinelOne, explored solutions for making critical infrastructure more resilient. Some of the questions addressed were: - To what extent have we secured the grid infrastructure today? - What options are available to secure the grid? - What are the long-term solutions? - Who is working on these solutions? - How does the regulatory structure in the US facilitate or impair grid resilience? Co-hosted by the Siebel Scholars program and the Siebel Energy Institute, the conference examined the frequency, nature, sources, and potential impact of cyber-attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure, with a concentration on the power grid.
