Navigating Cybersecurity in Power Systems
The importance of risk assessments in security engineering
In this episode, hosted by OMICRON OT cybersecurity expert Simon Rommer, we explore the critical roles of IT and OT in power systems cybersecurity, focusing on security risk assessments from a design and construction perspective. Jose Paredes, Regional Engineering Manager at H&MV Engineering, discusses the importance of bridging the knowledge gap between IoT and electrical engineering, as well as the necessity of integrating cybersecurity into the design process from the outset.
The conversation highlights the challenges of managing client expectations, compliance, and procurement in the context of cybersecurity, as well as the impact of latency on project success.
Jose emphasizes the need for effective partnerships and thorough risk assessments to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity in power systems.
