EnergySec 11th Annual Security & Compliance Summit

EnergySec started producing its security summits back in 2005. This ambitious venture was the result of many successful regional meetings that simply outgrew their capacity. We needed to expand the conversation and accomodate for the industry’s need for more peer networking.

Since 2005, there have been many security conferences established in the energy sector tackling everything from technical SCADA security topics to security legislation and compliance to plant physical security. We believe we are one of the oldest and most mature summits, bringing the most relevant and timely security topics to the forefront of discussion.

For more than 10 years the EnergySec Security Summit has been the premier gathering for stakeholders in the energy sector focused on physical and cyber security. Our summits give each attendee a rare opportunity to mingle with asset owners, government agencies, researchers, consultants, vendors and academia under one roof.

Here are just a few of the benefits in attending our summits include:

Defining and developing strategies to strengthen critical infrastructure protection programs
Learning the details about the latest standards (e.g, AMI Security, NERC CIP compliance, CFATS, etc)
Understanding the complexities to balance security and compliance in a highly-regulated industry
Making valuable connections with industry-recognized security leaders who are at the forefront of physical and cyber security.
Meeting and learning more from leading security solution vendors, communication suppliers and technologists in the energy sector

EnergySec is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All proceeds from our events are used to build cybersecurity learning programs that are designed to have a positive impact on the energy sector's workforce.

We are very excited about this year's agenda - we have a lot going on including three amazing workshops, after hours networking activities and a great line-up of security presentations.
