The IEC 62443 Week 2022 draws together ICS/OT cybersecurity practitioners from global grid operators, suppliers, and integrators for a week-long review of the latest developments and grid-specific implementations of IEC 62443, towards understanding how the standard can be leveraged to build power grid cyber-resilience. The programme will focus on providing practical strategies and tangible outcomes for utilities, addressing topics including managing cybersecurity governance, risk, and compliance, integrating IEC 62443 with ISO27001/2 and other complimentary standards, supply chain cybersecurity, IIOT device security and upskilling your OT cybersecurity workforce.The conference will open with a full-day Fundamentals of IEC 62443 workshop, followed by three days of in-depth presentations and panels focused on the practical implementation of the standard across the power grid. The week will wrap up with a day-long offensive cybersecurity briefing to help equip Utilities to meet the growing threat from increasingly sophisticated threat actors targeting the grid.

IEC 62443 is a series of standards that provide power grid operators with a robust framework to manage and mitigate the security vulnerabilities in their industrial control systems. Implementing IEC 62443 is now everyone’s responsibility and must be fully understood and embraced by power grid operators, technology suppliers and system integrators alike, to realise its full benefits. This week-long event provides a thorough exploration of IEC 62443 concepts, frameworks and controls with an accurate representation of cybersecurity risk to the operations. The Fundamentals of IEC 62443 workshop on day one of the event helps participants understand the essential building blocks of the standard and how they can be applied in their own environment. The 3-day main conference provides a series of case-study reviews of practical applications of the standard in conjunction with ISO 27001 in a wide range of power grid environments. The final day of the event provides a leading-edge briefing into how the standard can be leveraged to drive offensive cybersecurity strategies in the OT environment. By the end of this week-long event, power grid cybersecurity leaders will be equipped and prepared to adopt IEC 62443 as part of their broader security management system, to work more systematically and cost efficiently to minimise their security risks, and to more easily achieve their security goals.

Reuters Events: Industry Transition (28-29 September 2022, San Diego) unites diverse executives from heavy industry, in a forum laser focused on delivering deep decarbonization. Through five key pillars we will explore the infrastructure and climate technology developments needed to deliver this ambition, the standards, reporting and ESG difficulties we need to overcome and deep dive into net zero industry, deliver unrestrained innovation and secure market share.

The 9th annual IEC 61850 Week 2022 draws together IEC 61850 implementation leaders for a week-long review of the latest standardisation developments, pilot project results, large-scale implementation experiences, and future application explorations. The focus of this year’s programme is on driving IEC 61850 implementation through software-based approaches to leverage virtualisation and digitisation across specification, engineering, testing, operation, and maintenance and to fully realise automatic and remote access procedures. A focus on developing the workforce and organisational structures will underpin the content to showcase how the power grid can optimise its use of the latest IEC 61850 solutions. Day one kicks off with a hands-on System Specification workshop. Days two to four showcase implementation experiences from leading utilities across the globe. Day five wraps up with a deep diving seminar into Digital Twin applications in the substation area
