Cloud Based Solutions & Security for Power Systems

Cloud computing or hosted solutions by a Cloud Services Provider
or CSP are ever increasing across the utility industry landscape.
Many utilities have been slow or reluctant to embrace these
solutions due in part to the amount of unfounded FUD (Fear,
Uncertainly, and Doubt) that has been surrounding
software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions. In this episode, we will
discuss cloud hosting, an overview of security and user access,
and discuss some organizational considerations when implementing
SaaS solutions.


Host:


Dr. Nathan Wallace, Director & Co-Founder of
GridIntel and Cybirical.



Special Guest:


Samara Moore, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Assurance
Senior Manager and Global Energy Specialist

each subsequent podcast taking a deeper dive into a specific area
including access control, cross-server data sharing, workload use
cases, and CIP compliance to name a few.
