Cybersecurity: Tom Fanning

Prepare, Protect, Respond

“There is a fast approaching environment where it won’t be humans to machines but rather machines to machine. Now your millions of times a day could be trillions.”

Cybersecurity: Bruce Walker

Prepare, Protect, Respond

Prepare, Protect, Respond

Securing Our Grid

Prepare, Protect, Respond, Restore
