Joint Meetup with IEEE VTS Chicago: Prevention and Detection of Cyberattacks

Dear ACM Chicago Chapter members! On June 25, we join IEEE VTS Chicago to host a virtual event:

## Prevention and Detection of Cyberattacks in Charging Infrastructure and Enterprise Systems

Event Description:

Geographically distributed networks of devices like Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) or electric vehicle charging infrastructure pose unique security challenges.
This type of network is composed of interconnected nodes with different levels of security controls and a wide threat surface. In this type of network, untrusted peripheral nodes (e.g., charging stations) may become an easy target for an initial compromise and a stepping stone into more central nodes, e.g., management systems. With the widespread adoption of “smart” devices, which sense their environment and use communication channels to report their data, this type of lateral movement is increasingly likely. This talk will present recent work done by the Discovery Partners Institute on attack prevention, detection, and response on distributed network of devices and enterprise systems.

Presenter:

#### Rigel Gjomemo of Discovery Partners Institute
