Dragos, Inc., provider of the industrial industry’s most trusted industrial asset identification, threat detection and response platform and services, today announced that Co-founder and CEO Robert M. Lee, will be speaking at the National Conference of the American Public Power Association (APPA) on Monday, June 10 in Austin, Texas. The APPA is the voice of not-for-profit, community-owned utilities that power 2,000 towns and cities nationwide.

Lee will share his decades of cybersecurity experience with an audience comprised of top executives, government officials, and other subject-matter experts:

  • Cybersecurity: Small Investment, Big Impact (11 am – 12 pm) No utility is immune from a cyber attack and you need to shore up your defenses – but that does not require a big budget and resources. Explore practical, cost-effective approaches to cybersecurity that can produce significant results. See how one public power utility is leveraging the city’s IT to build cybersecurity into electric utility operations. Learn about the Neighborhood Keeper program, a collaborative threat detection and intelligence platform that gives small utilities access to industrial control system threat analytics and insights. In this presentation, Lee will be joined by Scott Smith, Division Manager - Communications of Bryan Texas Utilities.
  • Threat Alert: Cybersecurity for Leaders (1:30 pm - 2:30 pm) A survey by The Conference Board shows that U.S. CEOs rank cybersecurity as their #1 external concern for 2019. Public power is no exception and executives of small and large utilities are paying increased attention to building cyber defenses. Join other public power leaders for a briefing on cybersecurity threats – see what’s new, what’s evolving, and what should be keeping you up at night. Hear from a panel of CEOs on public power’s cyber readiness and what you can do to develop a culture of cybersecurity.
