ABOUT THIS EPISODE
A cyber attack reached the edge of the electric grid, disrupted visibility, damaged equipment, and walked away.
This isn’t theory anymore. Earlier this year, Dragos released an intelligence report on a cyber intrusion into Poland’s electric distribution systems. There was no massive blackout. No dramatic outage. And that’s exactly why this matters.
This video explains why that incident wasn’t a failure — it was a proof of access.
Attackers demonstrated repeatable access across distributed energy resources, disrupted communications, degraded operational visibility, and damaged equipment beyond repair. Then they stopped. Not because they couldn’t do more — but because they didn’t need to.
What this signals is a shift the industry has been slow to confront: the grid is no longer centralized. Risk now lives at the edge — in DERs, remote access paths, identical configurations, third-party vendor connections, and visibility gaps that have been normalized for years.
In this discussion, industry experts break down what the report really tells us about grid evolution, why cybersecurity and operations can no longer be separated, and how losing situational awareness may be more dangerous than losing power itself.
If your organization relies on distributed assets, vendor access, or believes “low impact” systems aren’t critical — this conversation is about you.
