London, United Kingdom, March 06, 2017 --(PR.com)-- With greater concerns from utility companies and their consumers over privacy and advancement of cyber threats, bridging the gap between the customer and the utility grid industry has never been more vital to successful Smart Grid Cyber Security.

On Day 1 of the conference, Trevor Goldman who is a Customer Solutions Engineer at Waterfall Security Solutions will be addressing the conflict between Engineering Change Control essential to safety and reliability, and "constant aggressive change" to "stay ahead of the bad guys." He will showcase how to simplify security models and programs to address unchanging cyber-security fundamentals. The presentation will also have a focus on deploying robust security measures able to address the most sophisticated security threats, no matter how they evolve over the years ahead.

Returning to London, The European Smart Grid Cyber Security conference will bring together nations from Belgium, Brazil, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Netherlands, UK and USA and is the perfect meeting point for senior experts in cyber security from utilities, TSOs, regulators and solution providers.
