Security experts told attendees at GridSecCon 2019 they should take the E-ISAC's training in implementing the Design Basis Threat.

Five former colleagues offered sometimes tearful, often funny, tributes to the late Mike Assante during the emotional highlight of GridSecCon 2019.

NERC gave GridSecCon 2019 a preview of results from its supply chain data request, which sought to increase its knowledge of low-impact BES cyber systems.
