Cybersecurity frameworks have been created for the security of large organizations and revolve around the security of information within those organizations. Cybersystems have evolved beyond general information systems into industrial control systems (ICS), distributed control systems (DCS) for Critical Infrastructure systems, Industrial Internet of Things devices, and consumer and Internet of Things. At the same time, evolving and sophisticated cyber threats have escalated. Combining the threats and the far-reaching cybersecurity landscape, these threats affect national critical infrastructure, IoT & IIoT devices, SmartCars, SmartCities, medical devices, and other integrated devices. NIST, IEEE, ISO, ISA/IEC, and other standards bodies are working together along with the research community to understand these new threats, how to create a base set of controls to manage them, understand the risks they pose, and how to mitigate those risks both from a policy/IT perspective as well a research perspective in harden electronic technologies. We will review past work, current work, and what is needed in the not-so-distant future. Understanding the frameworks, risks, threats and emerging standards enables researchers to design equipment solutions to be more resilient. PDH credits will be available for $5 and above.

With the commitment to curb carbon emissions, Singapore is looking to integrate various distributed energy resources (DERs), such as electric vehicles (EVs), solar PVs, Battery Energy Storage etc. in its electrical grid. In this talk, I will talk about the challenges experienced or expected in Singapore with large scale deployment of DERs. The expected targets will be discussed along with the current situation, progress, and opportunities. Some planning strategies to incorporate EVs and PVs in the system will be discussed as well.

We will celebrate the accomplishments of the PES/PELS Joint Chapter in the past year. The celebrations will be online, using WebEx, and the link will be provided for registered participants. During the event, we are planning to elect chapter Executive Officers, celebrate our members' felicitations, and we may host other interesting activities to engage the attendees.
