Powering Up Cyber Defenses: Securing Utilities from IT to OT

An interactive session focused on protecting critical infrastructure in the utilities sector. We’ll kick things off with quick introductions and an overview of what to expect. Then, the FBI will share the latest on threats and trends they're seeing, including real-world examples of attacks on utility systems.

We'll dive into how tools like Splunk can help monitor both IT and OT environments, making it easier to detect and respond to threats. A panel of experts from the FBI, Splunk, and utility companies will talk through challenges, best practices, and how public and private sectors can work together. We'll also hear from Dragos as they break down a real OT attack and how to defend against similar threats. We’ll wrap up with key takeaways and discuss how to keep the conversation going.

During this summit, participants will gain:

• Insights from the FBI on current threats and real-world incidents impacting the utilities sector
• Strategies for improving visibility and threat detection across IT and OT environments using Splunk
• Perspectives from industry and government experts on cybersecurity challenges, best practices, and collaboration
• A detailed look at how operational technology attacks unfold and how to protect critical assets, presented by Dragos
• Guidance on building ongoing partnerships and strengthening information sharing to better secure critical infrastructure
