Countering Cyber Sabotage: Cyber Informed Engineering

Presented by: Marco Ayala, Matt Morris, and Carmen Garibi

Increasingly, digitalization is a permanent aspect of today’s operations, and cybersecurity is the linchpin to a safe and secure transition. But most of the time, the shift toward digitalization outpaces the cyber resilience required to effectively manage risks to the business. Consequence-driven, cyber-informed engineering (CCE) enhances risk assessment for cybersecurity by combining first-principles thinking with engineering.

This webinar will:

  1. Discuss the importance of applying engineering to cybersecurity and vice versa
  2. Present the approach of CCE
  3. Discuss the application of CCE in smart grid
