Loss of Energy Management System: Being Prepared for a Worst-Case Scenario

November 18, 2025
Grand Ballroom A&B

As threats to core utility systems continue to evolve rapidly, the importance of having a strategy to anticipate, withstand, and recover from adverse operating conditions has never been greater. In this session, we will explore best practices for developing and implementing robust contingency plans to ensure operational continuity in case of loss of the EMS and key supporting infrastructure. Attendees will leave equipped with practical strategies to strengthen system resilience, minimize operational risks, and ensure compliance with industry regulations (such as NERC EOP-008-2) in the face of evolving cyber and infrastructure threats.
