Cybersecurity Perspectives Event October 18th from EATON

October 13, 2022

Just in time for Cybersecurity Month, we’re excited to bring you our annual Cybersecurity Perspectives event focused on securing your organization’s critical infrastructure. 

Energy systems are transforming and becoming more complex with the increase in renewable and distributed energy resources. Organizations are optimizing operations to achieve digital transformation and sustainability goals amidst this ever-changing power landscape. And, while new tools are essential to managing change, they can also expose vulnerabilities for organizations. Cybersecurity is a critical enabler to creating trusted and secure connected environments. 

Join EATON for their keynote, fireside chat and panel discussions including cybersecurity insights from industry experts in leading-edge organizations where you’ll learn how to build a foundation of security and safety in an increasingly connected world.
