26 Packet Networks Summit: The POWERful Choice Concerns and Lessons Learned Packetizing Utility Communications Networks Habersham (H) The SONET/SDH transport networks that utilities have been using for years are rapidly becoming obsolete. Modern broadband packet-based transport networks are certainly one solution, but the path forward is not clear-cut. Join us as the UTC Global Advisory Council hosts a summit examining the issues confronting utilities in their decision to adopt packet-based technologies for their operational networks. In this highly interactive session, utilities will share the concerns and issues that they faced in making the decision to migrate to packet based networks. Then major vendors will respond to the concerns, explaining how they have addressed each point, including latency, security, network diversity and management, access challenges, and the stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements for such mission critical applications as teleprotection. Finally, the vendors will delineate the merits of Carrier Ethernet and MPLS in their responses. Be sure to come to the Summit armed with your questions for both these pioneer utilities and technology partners. Dewey C. Day - Senior Telecom Engineer Pacific Gas & Electric Company Kevin Lamont Hill - Dir. IT Network Services Oncor Shaun Skidmore - Communications Engineer Idaho Power Company Ken Rabedeau - Chief Technology Officer - Global Energy Solutions Alcatel-Lucent Yaakov Stein - Chief Technology Officer RAD Cybersecurity Summit: Tackling the Cybersecurity Workforce Crisis: Building Critical Infrastructure Workforce Sponsored by Grand Ballroom II (H) Cybersecurity workforce shortage was estimated to be at 1 million in In the meanwhile the cyber threat to the critical infrastructure has increased and this trend is expected to continue. While there are substantial national and international efforts under way to improve the state of affairs, it is extremely challenging to do when there are not enough people to do the work or to provide required thought leadership at the highest level of the organization. Numerous standards, guidelines, and best practices are there but there are simply not enough people to execute the required activities. In the utility space the need for qualified cybersecurity practitioners is especially acute because one can t just transplant an IT security professional and expect them to hit the ground running in a utility. Utilities business needs including geographically distributed high performance networks, safety and reliability requirements, and compliance with NERC CIP standards, to name a few, are distinct from those for IT networks. Building and maintaining utilities networks in a secure manner requires specialized knowledge and skills in both cybersecurity and utility business and technologies. This Summit will bring together utilities cybersecurity leaders and premier education and training providers to discuss potential solutions for closing this workforce gap and laying out the roadmap for the future.
