Washington trip

Nov. 14, 2008

Next week I will be in Washington DC for a Computer Security Institute (CSI) conference session on Wednesday. The session will discuss the needs and issues associated with IT and Operations working together to secure industrial control systems. Ed Goff from Progress Energy will be the “active” moderator as he will also be participating in the discussion.  There will also be an IT security vendor and a control system security vendor on the panel.

While in Washington, I will have a chance to provide a control system cyber security status update to numerous government and congressional representatives.
