Aug 4-7, 2008 / Burr Ridge, IL

Recent cyber-related blackouts and plant trips, along with the five year anniversary of the Northeast Blackout, potential cyber-related incidents and their prevention are  the main focus of the Conference agenda. The focus of cyber security has been on traditional cyber security including passwords, firewalls, and compliance, not system reliability. Reliability of industrial facilities (power plants, substations, chemical plants, refineries, water systems, pipelines, etc.) has focused on control system challenges, not cyber vulnerabilities. This Conference addresses the intersection of control system vulnerabilities and reliability of industrial control systems and processes.
