Leonardo hosted a free to attend webinar on 11 June 2020 entitled 'Adapting to the new normal – managing cyber risks to the Utilities Sector beyond COVID-19'.
In recent years, the trend of connecting previously segregated operational networks into the corporate IT systems of a utilities organisation has impacted on the cyber security posture of the overall estate. But the rapid technical and procedural changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as working from home, has led to a shift in the culture and expectations of the operational workforce.
- Do you fully understand the risks that rapid, in some cases uncontrolled, changes to systems and processes have made?
- How can you ensure that the cultural and technical shifts that have improved delivery capability do not result in unacceptable security risks?
This webinar focused on:
- How organisations can understand the root cause of changes in security culture which present cyber risks, and how positive changes can be driven.
- How organisations can understand the risks associated with recent rapid changes in technology and behaviours;
- Possible approaches to risk management, security architecture and cyber resilience.
