Cyber and the Energy Transition with Randy Bell of the Atlantic Council
Description
Most people don’t associate cybersecurity with the transition to clean and renewable energy, but that’s something that needs to change.
Randy Bell, Director of the Global Energy Center at the Atlantic Council, joined us for an informative discussion. He addresses the digital threats that already face traditional energy sources and how much more those threats multiply when we move towards smart grids and smart thermostats.
In this episode, Randy also discusses:
- The state and non-state threats of cybersecurity
- How the recent Colonial Pipeline disaster helped raise awareness of the importance of cybersecurity
- What smaller energy companies can do to prepare better
You’ll also hear Randy articulate the key mindset of leading with prevention (security) but backing that up with resilience (recovering from an attack quickly).
