Allan Long will discuss some of the recent news stories about cyber attacks on the Ukranian power system and other corporate, industrial, and government entities. These challenges are being addressed by federal lawmakers, government agencies, and corporate IT departments in a constantly-evolving legal and regulatory environment. While no one can prevent an attacker from targeting their critical systems, there are good practices that should be followed to deter, detect, defend, and respond to these threats.
