Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) systems enable increased interconnectivity, process automation, and remote control. As a result, supply chain risks will continue to evolve and likely increase.1 This panel will discuss the state of supply chain risks from a national and geopolitical perspective. Specifically, the panel will explore current supply chain risks to the security of grid’s hardware, software, computer, and networking equipment and how well-resourced campaigns perpetrated by nation states, such as the SolarWinds incident, affect supply chain risk for the electric sector.
