Winter Cyber Solutions Fest 2026: Utilities and Critical Infrastructure

Cyber risk in industrial environments carries consequences far beyond data loss—it can disrupt essential services, damage equipment, impact safety, and affect entire communities. In the utilities sector, this risk is operational, immediate, and escalating. Water treatment plants, electric grids, and energy distribution networks are now routine targets for adversaries seeking to exploit weaknesses in industrial control systems with traditional malware, ICS/OT tailored malware and living off the land techniques where no malware is needed.

The Winter Cyber Solutions Fest: Utilities and Critical Infrastructure Forum is a virtual event built specifically for utility asset owners, technology vendors, operators' staff, engineers, and cybersecurity professionals responsible for defending the ICS/OT systems that make, move, and power our world. This forum delivers focused insight into today’s evolving industrial threat landscape, emerging defense strategies, and real-world technology solutions to build resilient ICS/OT cybersecurity programs beyond just the traditional IT security approaches—without unnecessary complexity or cost.

Attendees Can Expect

• Case studies on ICS/OT intrusions and ICS cyber incidents
• Strategies to defend against supply chain threats and ransomware etc.
• Practical methods to secure remote access into operational networks
• Live technology demonstrations of ICS/OT security tools for proactive response
• Alignment with frameworks and the 5 ICS Cybersecurity Critical Controls, etc.
• Expert panel perspectives from front-line engineers and cybersecurity leaders
   

What You’ll Gain

• Actionable lessons from real incidents in utilities
• Techniques to detect, contain, and respond to ICS/OT cyber attacks
• Approaches that protect safety, reliability, and uptime
• Access to a collaborative peer community and expert network
• Free registration and CPE credit eligibility

Join us this winter to collaborate, learn, and strengthen cyber resilience across critical infrastructure with practical, affordable, and engineering-aligned solutions.
