Analysis, commentary, and strategic thinking on OT cybersecurity, AI governance, regulatory compliance, and the evolving threat landscape facing critical infrastructure.
Electric utilities have invested heavily in NERC CIP compliance programs, and many have achieved audit-ready status. But compliance and security are not the same thing, and the gap between them is where adversaries operate.
Operational technology environments are increasingly adopting AI for predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and grid optimization. The organizations that will do this safely are the ones that build governance frameworks before they deploy, not after.
As IT and OT networks converge, the security assumptions that governed each domain independently no longer hold. The result is a new class of risk that neither IT security teams nor OT engineers are fully equipped to address alone.
Most board-level cybersecurity conversations focus on the wrong metrics. Compliance status, vulnerability counts, and incident response timelines tell you very little about whether your organization is actually resilient.
The regulatory landscape for electric utilities is shifting. New supply chain requirements, cloud security guidance, and emerging standards for OT environments are reshaping what compliance programs need to address.
The power utility sector is one of the most consequential, and most underserved, areas of cybersecurity. For professionals looking to make a meaningful impact, it offers a career path unlike any other.
The EU AI Act introduces risk-based requirements for AI systems used in critical infrastructure. Understanding what counts as high-risk, what documentation is required, and how enforcement will work is now a compliance priority.
New perspectives on critical infrastructure security, AI governance, and regulatory compliance, delivered when it matters.
