As renewable energy becomes an increasingly important part of the grid, ensuring the security and resilience of renewable generation and energy storage is critical to maintaining grid reliability. Cybersecurity must be integrated into business decision-making and operational resilience efforts, not treated as a siloed technical issue. This session will be focused on helping organizations better understand and communicate cyber risk, prepare for disruptions, and build operational resilience. This deep dive will be divided into two parts.

In the first half of the session, industry experts will discuss how organizations can identify and prioritize the most critical functions and consequences for renewable energy for recovery and resilience purposes. Attendees will gain practical insights into preparedness, cross-functional coordination, recovery planning, and the lessons learned from past incidents. 

The second half of this deep dive will explore how renewable energy organizations can better measure cyber risk to understand financial and operational impacts from cyber events. Panelists will discuss the evolving cyber insurance market and what insurers look for when evaluating risk. The session will also examine practical approaches for translating cybersecurity risks into meaningful business impacts, enabling leaders to prioritize investments, manage enterprise risk, and build a stronger business case for cybersecurity across an organization.
