This presentation will introduce power grids and EPCOR's role, highlighting trends like electrification and green energy. It will explore disruptors driving grid transformation, such as electric vehicles, solar systems, policy changes, smart meters, and more, and how utilities like EPCOR are adapting through digitization, infrastructure investment, system integration, and citizen participation.
The presentation then delves into the differences between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) risks. It will focus on new OT risks from grid transformation, including cyber vulnerabilities, data breaches, device risks, and national security concerns, and outline how organizations plan to manage these risks with enhanced cybersecurity measures, advanced monitoring tools, and improved security standards.
Finally, the presentation will discuss the significant changes in the industry and emphasize the importance of addressing OT risks to ensure a secure and resilient grid.
