Brian will participate in the “Gas and Cybersecurity – What do State Regulators Need to Know?” panel. The panel will discuss critical information that state regulators need to know in the natural gas utility space.

We will explore what the next steps are, and how we all can be more engaged, as appropriate, in addressing cybersecurity issues in the natural gas space.
