    EV charging sites are increasingly on the radar of cyber attackers as critical infrastructure. A hacked charger might shut down service, expose customer data or even trigger harmful load oscillations that stress local grids. This session gives operators a clear view of the risks — from the machine layer to IT systems — and the tools to respond. You'll learn how to control access, safeguard communications and integrate cybersecurity standards such as CSA (IEC) 62443 and ISO 27000 so that fleets, depots, and public networks can stay resilient. Attendees will walk away with practical strategies to reduce risk and protect both their sites and the grid they depend on.

Whether you are a site host, hardware manufacturer, charging network operator, real estate professional or municipal planner, if your work involves public charging, this session is your essential guide.
