NCCoE Learning Series Webinar
Date/Time: Tuesday, November 16, 2021 | 3 p.m. EDT
Duration: 30 minutes plus Q&A
Technical Level: Foundational
Description:
Since 2013, the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has been supplying cybersecurity guidance and example solutions to help utilities and operators of critical energy infrastructure protect the complex IT and operational technology systems that power our economy. The University of Maryland (UMD) has been a key collaborator in those efforts.
Join us for a fireside chat when we will explore:
