The WEI’s Customer + Corporate Symposium will bring together more than 250 energy professionals to discuss the latest industry trends and best practices in corporate and customer services. Through various presentations, Q&A panels, roundtable discussions and networking opportunities, attendees will share their experiences while gaining valuable insights on a variety of topics from customer experience, HR, emerging technologies, products and services to community engagement, data and cybersecurity. Richard Jones’ Keeping Supply Chain Safe presentation will be held on Friday, March 9, 11AM-12:15PM.
“Driven by the prevalence of ICS targeted malwares, utility companies now have a regulatory mandate to manage their supply chain in order to stay one step ahead of cyber threats to their real-time systems,” Jones said. “The good news is that the upcoming compliance requirements will drive the development of innovative frameworks that support the early identification, mitigation and management of supply chain risks to the Bulk Electric System.
