This was a terrific workshop! The feedback from the attendees was very positive. Most indicated good and useful takeaways. Example quotes: “A lot of great information in the workshop. I have been relying too heavily on IT to provide network security and not focusing enough on SCADA security. Need to bring focus back to the substation.” “Quite insightful and the panelists were quite knowledgeable.” “Great, loved how you kept it short and sweet, the ability to ask questions via chat was great.” “The workshop wasn't the typical high level hand waving and vague discussion on cybersecurity and industry shortcomings.” “Liked the mix of panelists backgrounds.”
