DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Lessons Learned from Poland and Beyond: The State of
  Electric\n   Sector Attacks in 2025\n   Tags: ICS Village | Creator Talk/
 Panel\n   When: Friday\, Aug 7\, 17:00 - 17:30 PDT\n   Where: LVCCW Level 
 1 Hall 3 801 (Creator Stage 1) - [1]Map\n\n   Description:\n\n   2026 feat
 ured news of a new attempted\, disruptive cyber attack against\n   the ele
 ctric sector. Instead of transmission or distribution in\n   Ukraine\, how
 ever\, the event focused on generating assets in Poland.\n   Irrespective 
 of impact\, the very fact such an action was attempted is\n   concerning a
 nd newsworthy. However\, the details of the event\n   demonstrate the stat
 e of the "now" for electric sector events\, in\n   terms of their successe
 s as well as failures.\n\n   In this discussion we will leverage all avail
 able public reporting to\n   look at where the attackers innovated\, borro
 wed from past events\, and\n   failed to learn from history in the Decembe
 r 2025 Polish event. From\n   this discussion we will set the incident in 
 context of both concurrent\n   intrusions\, such as Volt Typhoon activity\
 , and historical incidents\,\n   linked to the Sandworm threat actor\, to 
 see just where adversaries are\n   today with respect to tradecraft and se
 ctor knowledge.\n\n   From this exploration\, attendees will emerge with a
  better\n   understanding of what adversaries are "getting right" about su
 ch\n   events\, and where they still fall short. Furthermore\, review of e
 vents\n   will show the significance of physical safeguards and controls i
 n\n   ensuring continuous operations in the face of cyber effects\, and ho
 w\n   adversaries remain challenged to overcome such barriers.\n\n   Speak
