WEBCAST: Utility Cloud Journey: Security & Business Case Foundation (Room 221BCD)

As utilities worldwide confront new business challenges, many are reconsidering historic approaches to IT and OT systems management. Utility executives are evaluating the business transformation potential of cloud computing, and early adopters have already taken flight on their journeys.

According to Gartner, “Digitalization, decentralization, decarbonization and democratization (4D) mega forces continue to drive challenges and opportunities in the global utility sector.” As utility customer expectations for digital engagement grow, new business opportunities and challenges abound. Nonetheless, the core utility mission to provide secure, reliable, affordable service to consumers remains largely unchanged.

Moderated by AWS Head of Worldwide Business Development Rolf Gibbels, this panel of utility Chief Information Officers (CIOs), utility Chief Digital Architects (CDAs), and grid security experts will explore the core security and business case foundation required for utilities at all stages of cloud adoption. Whether you’re just preparing your cloud transformation roadmap or have already begun the journey, this panel will help you accelerate from a secure and proven foundation.
