The Cybersecurity for Energy Delivery Systems Peer Review was held August 5-7, 2014, allowing over 35 projects the opportunity to present the results of their work, provide lessons learned, and share best practices. A total of 30 projects participated in the peer review process, where industry leaders served as reviewers and were provided time to ask questions following each presentation. The additional projects provided information sharing presentations and/or presented posters during the daily poster sessions.
