'24 GridSecCon

GridSecCon 2024, co-hosted by NERC, the E-ISAC, and the Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO), is the premier grid security conference, taking place from October 22-25 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This event brings together industry and government professionals for three days of collaboration, networking, and expert training sessions focused on the reliability and security of the bulk power system. Attendees will hear from senior leaders in cyber and physical security about the latest threat landscape, effective mitigation strategies, and best practices. With a focus on critical infrastructure security, GridSecCon 2024 provides a vital platform for promoting the reliability of the grid through cutting-edge discussions and education. 

As utilities sites face new threats from fast-moving drones, conventional perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) are increasingly vulnerable. Echodyne’s MESA® radar offers a timely solution by detecting all moving objects, including drones and "dark drones" that evade traditional detection methods. MESA® radar enhances perimeter security by providing high-fidelity data that improves the effectiveness of other sensors, reduces false alarms, and informs the prioritization of security resources. By integrating seamlessly with existing command and control (C2) and video management systems (VMS), MESA® radar ensures that utility sites are protected around the clock, regardless of lighting or weather conditions.
