Secure Networks and Remote Access in Renewable Generation

Renewable generation faces many challenges in cybersecurity not seen in fossil-fuel based generation. Facilities in remote areas with endpoints over a large area, requiring constant remote availability for operational data, system management, and engineering. Standard OT remote management practices of VPNs secured by Multi Factor Authentication are proving to be inadequate as adversaries use remote access as their preferred attack vector. Andrew Dettmer will walk you through networking best practices in creating segmented, secure networks, and modern remote access using verifiable user authentication, action tracking, and session management.
