On June 8-10, the SIA Government Summit will tackle challenges facing sectors of critical infrastructure where the federal and state governments are exerting a great deal of influence. Take for example, the U.S. electric grid, which is facing new requirements for physical security. The Summit panel, Securing the Electric Grid: How Utilities Will Meet the New Federal Standard for Physical Security, will explore those requirements in detail.

In this session, representatives from the security and electric power industries discuss what to expect as key federal compliance requirements in 2015 drive physical security upgrades at critical substations and control centers throughout the United States
