Invensys is working very hard and very closely with most of the leading cybersecurity experts in the world. Ernie Rakaszky and I have been at cybersecurity conferences together. I was supposed to write about one of the keynote speeches today, given by Larry Spoonemore of The Southern Company, who was introduced by Rakaszky. Spoonemore's talk was supposed to be the lead story for the electronic conference daily we are producing here at the Invensys Customer Conference. Unfortunately, the first slide Spoonemore put up was a confidentiality notice and a demand that his talk not be made public. So, unless you were there, you are seriously out of luck. However, according to one of the end user attendees, who has asked for anonymity, Spoonemore's talk didn't tell him anything he didn't already know, so I guess you didn't miss anything, and neither did I. Rakaszky's talk however, was interesting, and he's holding a roundtable on cybersecurity tomorrow that I plan on attending.
