European Smart Grid Cyber and SCADA Security

SAVE THE DATE: EUROPEAN SMART GRID CYBER AND SCADA SECURITY LONDON MARCH 10th and 11th 2014  Rebooking now   

SAE Media Group's 3rd annual European Smart Grid Cyber and SCADA Security forum will address the current threat landscape of Smart Grid, Advanced Metering Infrastructure, Industrial Control Systems and SCADA vulnerabilities. Building on the success of the past two years, we will bring Government, Industry, top research and solution providers back to London for a formal interactive two day conference and workshop.

We will be highlight critical developments, case studies, advanced persistent threats and vulnerabilities during the course of the two day conference. The forum will address not only risk management asset strategy, but also dive deeper into technical threats, current attack profiles on the rise and currently, potentially, in circulation.

NEWS AND DOWNLOADS:
Infrastructure Security Labs will be joining us from the United States, discussing Security issues of Control Systems in Water Utilities.
They offer the following information free to you:
Vulnerabilities in Wireless Water Meters
Chemical and Biological Threats against Public Water Systems

    PROTECTING SMART GRID AND AMI WITH SECURITY CONVERGENCE FOR UNIFIED THREAT MANAGEMENT

    Jasvir Gill

    Jasvir Gill, Founder and CEO, Alert Enterprise Europe

  • Encrypting meter data, deploying firewalls and creating security perimeters is not enough
  • As new technology gets added to the grid, a more insidious risk needs to be addressed – insider threat
  • Monitoring of the trusted resources within the company – people with access to control rooms, field supervisors with access to head-ends for meter networks
  • The damage from a disgruntled employee or an insider with malicious intent can far exceed the network intruder
  • Learn how large Utilities in the US are leveraging Security Convergence Solutions to aggregate cyber threats via security automation tools like SIEMs and Vulnerability Scanners and combine those with behavior analytics for Unified Threat Management to prevent complex security incidents that could lead to wide-spread outage.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.

    CPD Certificates

    We can provide a certificate for all our accredited events. To request a CPD certificate for a conference , workshop, master classes you have attended please email events@saemediagroup.com
