Broadband networks, electric grids, public safety systems, and municipal IT infrastructure form the backbone of modern communities—but they are increasingly exposed to cyber threats, power disruptions, and operational risks.
This panel brings together experts in operational technology cybersecurity, power resilience, and wireless connectivity to examine how cities, counties, electric cooperatives, and school systems can strengthen the security and reliability of the systems they depend on. Panelists will discuss emerging threats to critical infrastructure, lessons learned from recent incidents, evolving regulatory and policy considerations, and practical approaches to improving resilience across interconnected community networks.
