a.m.–5:00 p.m.
8:30 a.m. Opening Remarks and
Introductions
8:45 a.m. Panel I: Supply Chain Risks
Facing the Bulk-Power System
The U.S. energy sector procures
products and services from a globally
distributed, highly complex, and
increasingly interconnected set of
supply chains. Information Technology
(IT) and Operational Technology (OT)
systems enable increased
interconnectivity, process automation,
and remote control. As a result, supply
chain risks will continue to evolve and
likely increase.1 This panel will discuss
the state of supply chain risks from a
national and geopolitical perspective.
Specifically, the panel will explore
current supply chain risks to the
security of grid’s hardware, software,
computer, and networking equipment
and how well-resourced campaigns
perpetrated by nation states, such as the
SolarWinds incident, affect supply
chain risk for the electric sector.
Panelists will discuss the origins of
