Cyber-Physical Impact Modeling Webinar

Mar 29, 2024   |   1:39 AM – 1:39 AM ET
The risk profile of current and emerging cyber threats to commercial and institutional building sites cannot be overstated. Sites include and may not be limited to critical utilities such as electric, water and waste management, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, airports, stadiums, office buildings, prisons, and courts. Protecting these sites from bad actions or errors from employees can minimize outside takeover of operational systems, risk to loss of life, personal injury, and harm to the environment.

Resilience Incentivization Roadmap 2.0
