Report of Discussions from Breakout Sessions at the 2017 Annual Industry Workshop
Cyber Resilient Energy Delivery Consortium
Abstract
The 2017 CREDC Annual Industry Workshop was held March 27-29 at the Tempe Mission Palms in Tempe, Arizona. Consortium partner ASU served as the local host. The workshop was followed by an annual review meeting on the afternoon of March 29 which included members of the CREDC team, the Department of Energy, and some CREDC Industrial Advisory Board members. Erin Walsh of the Department of Homeland Security joined the annual review meeting via WebEx. The workshop featured a case study presentation by Ben Miller that analyzed the evolving Ukraine cyber-attack(s). The workshop program offered moderated breakout discussion sessions on topics that impact cybersecurity and resiliency of EDS. Three topics were offered over two sessions, allowing participants to engage in two topic discussions. The final day offered a session summarizing highlights from the breakout sessions. The program also featured an industry/research partnership showcase, CREDC research showcase presentations, lightning talk presentations, and a CREDC research poster session. The industry workshop hosted 111 participants – 62 from the CREDC team and 49 from nonCREDC organizations. Six of our Industrial Advisory Board members were able to attend both the workshop and review meeting. The poster session featured 26 research activities.
