Hall 8, DWTC

Utilities are operating in an increasingly complex and interconnected environment, where disruptions in infrastructure, technology, supply chains, cyber systems and ecosystems can create cascading impacts across the network. Traditional resilience approaches are often managed through separate disciplines such as business continuity, asset management, cybersecurity, operational risk and emergency response, limiting organizations' ability to understand and manage interconnected risks holistically.
