SANS 2025 Utilities Forum

Water and electric utilities form the backbone of our critical infrastructure, yet they are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyber attacks aiming to disrupt essential services and threaten public safety. This free virtual event brings together cybersecurity professionals, utility operators, government stakeholders, and industry experts to explore the unique challenges and emerging threats facing the energy and water sectors. Participants will gain insights into recent attack trends, vulnerabilities in operational technology (OT) environments, and practical approaches to strengthening cyber resilience across interconnected systems.

Through expert-led sessions, case studies, and panel discussions, attendees will learn actionable strategies for securing both IT and OT networks, implementing threat detection and incident response plans, and aligning with regulatory frameworks such as NERC CIP and EPA cybersecurity guidance. Whether you're a utility executive, security analyst, or policymaker, this event provides a vital platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and advancing the defense of our nation’s most vital resources.
