Registration – GridSecCon 2026
Free NERC CIP GRC Workshop
Join us on Tuesday October 21st from 1-5pm for NovaSync’s free workshop on Governance, Risk, and Compliance.
The workshop will be led by Brent Castagnetto and Nick Santora of NovaSync. GRC programs have become standard across utilities in North America, but most utilities struggle to manage them effectively. We will discuss how to develop a GRC program that works for you instead of constantly worrying about missing critical security actions. In this workshop, we will also explore the “CIP Drip” and how common GRC programs leak security while learning through mock exercises.
