Moats, Fences and Locks, Oh My!
Cybersecurity is no longer just about keeping bad actors out. It’s about being ready to respond when they get in. In this episode of Western Watts, Chief Information & Technology Officer Dom Maddalone discusses the evolving cyber threats facing electric utilities, how AI is changing both cyberattacks and cyber defenses, and what Tri-State is doing to protect critical infrastructure.
“As the electric utility, we support every other sector, every other industry out there, right? Healthcare, telecoms, banking, everything else, depends on us. All those other industries, their backup electric procedures all assume that we, if we have an outage, are gonna be back up within hours, maybe days at the max.”
