Tech-Tuesdays

Let’s Enjoy Some Tech-Nuggets on Tech-Tuesdays!!

What are Tech-Tuesdays?

Tech-Tuesdays are Tuesdays where Tech-Nuggets are served, a series of technology-centric Critical Infrastructure tailored short webinars!

We are all super busy, yet need to keep up-to-date with technology developments so we don’t get left behind. Staying current requires looking into new technologies that are most applicable to our industries with emphases on how these technologies can be adapted to fit best. To efficiently do this while respecting our busy schedules, we need Tech-Nuggets. Tech-Nuggets are Short Technical Webinars that are Technolicious, Content Rich, Concepts Nutritious & Tiny so they are easy to digest.

So … A Tech-Nugget is simply a webinar that is 30 minutes short and introduces a technology, a concept and/or a solution in a way that addresses how it serves a specific industry best. Let’s dig in!!

Upcoming Tech-Nuggets…

Building Communication Networks for IEC-61850 Applications:

Duration: 30 min Media: Free Webinar Date: July 14th, 2020 – 11:00 am EDT
Speaker: Tamer Soliman, Founder & CEO – IPR ACCESS WEBINAR RECORDING
Inventor of three critical infrastructure Network & Security patents, and the lead network design engineer of over a hundred major critical infrastructure projects.

Building Communication Networks for IEC-61850 Applications: Due to the unique nature, time sensitivity, and criticality of IEC-61850 operations, special considerations need to be taken into account when designing the serving underlying communication networks. During the webinar we will address the following topics:

Who should attend: Protection & Control Engineers, SCADA Engineers, Technicians and Managers
Prerequisites: No prerequisites are required

Critical Infrastructure -AI, ML and Deep Learning in a Nutshell:

Duration: 30 min Media: Free Webinar Date: July 28th, 2020 – 11:00 am EDT
Speaker: Tamer Soliman, Founder & CEO – IPR ACCESS WEBINAR RECORDING
Inventor of three critical infrastructure Network & Security patents, and the lead network design engineer of over a hundred major critical infrastructure projects.

Critical Infrastructure AI, ML and Deep Learning in a Nutshell: It can be quite overwhelming to hear the acronyms AI (Artificial Intelligence), ML (Machine Learning) & DL (Deep Learning), and not know what they mean or how they fit within our Critical Infrastructure environment. During the webinar we will draw a high level picture of the concepts behind the acronyms, discuss how they fit and highlight some of the unique challenges the CI environment presents. The webinar will cover:

High level understanding of the differences between AI,ML and DL
Conceptual understanding of the AI, ML and DL functions and operations
The principles of training a model and producing an inference
Example applications
Unique challenges presented by the nature of the critical infrastructure environment

After the webinar, attendees should build a basic understanding of the underlying concepts and differences between AI,ML & DL along with exploring the benefits and challenges that come along with considering the technologies for critical infrastructure applications.

Who should attend: Protection & Control, SCADA and ITS Engineers, Technicians and Managers
Prerequisites: No prerequisites are required

Building Secure SCADA Remote Access – Critical Infrastructure:

Duration: 30 min Media: Free Webinar Date: April 27th, 2021 – 11:00 am EDT
Speaker: Tamer Soliman, Founder & CEO – IPR REGISTER NOW!
Inventor of three critical infrastructure Network & Security patents, and the lead network design engineer of over a hundred major critical infrastructure projects.

Building Secure SCADA Remote Access for Critical Infrastructure Applications: As the demand for secure remote access to SCADA systems continue to increase, rises the challenge of protecting the integrity and security of the critical infrastructure operation. Remote access requirements range from remote operation, emergency maintenance, vendor support and third party collaborative remote access. During the webinar we will discuss the growing demand for remote access, the most common requirements mandated by regulatory measures and security standards, the special challenges posed by the very own nature of critical infrastructure applications, along sides with the most elegant and secure design practices aimed at providing the desired remote access functionality while keeping our infrastructure safe. The webinar will cover:

The growing need for secure remote access to SCADA systems
The unique challenges presented by the very nature of critical infrastructure applications
Most common requirements mandated by regulatory bodies and security standards
Best design practices for SCADA remote access solutions
SCADA Remote access design examples

After the webinar, attendees should build a basic understanding of the requirements and best design practices for remote access solutions geared towards critical infrastructure applications.
