Join us for an interactive discussion on cyber security and its real world impacts in the electrical critical infrastructure sector.  The discussion will start with a review of the successful cyber attack in 2015 that resulted in a power outage affecting more than 200,000 people.  Based on this we will review the risks for nuclear reactors combined with the challenges in meeting regulatory requirements.
