Free Webcast - Lessons from Industry Leaders: The Nexus of Energy & Water

June 8, 2010; 2:30pm ET
Many leading utilities are finding that their sustainability answers can be found at the intersection of energy and water. Energy has always been among the largest line-item costs for water utilities, and energy utilities use significant amounts of water. Leaders of both types of utilities are looking at the possibilities for enhancing the sustainable practices of each by exploring the benefits of working together.   Webcast Information and Registration

Cyber Security Training Workshops

Date/Place — October 15, 2009-Chicago, IL, October 26, 2009-San Antonio, TX and
November 3, 2009-Holliston (Boston), MA

The urgent need to mitigate risks and threats to Industrial Control Systems (ICS) has led the water sector to collaborate with government leaders on an integrated security strategy as detailed in the Roadmap to Secure Control Systems in the Water Sector, March 2008. A critical component of this effort is equipping utility personnel with the requisite knowledge, skills and abilities to identify, defend against and reduce the risk from cyber attack.

The WSCC is hosting a series of workshops designed specifically to improve the knowledge, skills and abilities of U.S. based water sector utility employees who are responsible for control system security. The Department of Homeland Security’s Control Systems Security Program will present the workshop training and discuss security products that are available for use by Water Sector asset owners and operators.
