[Infowarrior] - Smart Grid Cybersecurity Conference 2/15

[Richard Forno]

A one-day Smart Grid Cyber Security Conference [1] will be held
at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County on Tuesday 15
February 2011 hosted by the UMBC Computer Science and Electrical
Engineering Department. The conference will be a comprehensive
presentation by technical staff from the National Institute of
Standards and Technology about a just released inter-agency report
(NISTIR 7628) on "Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security" [2].
This report is likely to be a critically important document for
guiding government, regulatory organizations, industry and
academia on the theoretical and practical problems surrounding
cybersecurity for the Smart Grid [3] and similar cyber-physical
infrastructure systems. This regional outreach conference will be
valuable to any organization that is planning, integrating,
executing or developing cyber technology for the Smart Grid.  A
full copy of the 600 page report is available at [4].

The conference is free, but we ask participants to register [5]
as soon as possible to help us prepare for the right number of
participants.
