Dragos CEO Robert M. Lee Keynote at Fortinet Operations Technology (OT) Energy Symposium 2021
Summary: At Fortinet's OT Energy Symposium 2021, Dragos CEO Robert M. Lee gave a keynote on cybersecurity threats to the electric power sector, covering the Biden Administration's 100-day OT action plan and recommendations for ICS/OT asset owners on threat detection and response. Dragos said it has identified 11 activity groups targeting electric utilities, and that by the end of the 100-day program in August 2021 at least 150 electric utilities serving almost 90 million U.S. customers had adopted or committed to technologies to improve OT cybersecurity.
Why it matters: Eleven tracked activity groups against electric utilities, and 150 utilities serving nearly 90 million customers moving off prevention-only standards - the shift the 100-day plan demanded is visibility and detection in OT, where existing threats typically won't show up in energy operations until it's too late to matter.
