Utilities Advisory Board

About the Advisory Board

The SIA Utilities Advisory Board was created to provide resources that enhance the security and resilience of utility infrastructure, including electric, water, nuclear and other critical utility systems, particularly through the effective use of physical security and cybersecurity technologies. The advisory board brings together manufacturers, integrators, consultants, practitioners and other stakeholders to develop analysis, recommendations and forward-looking guidance addressing the unique physical and cyber risks facing the utility sector.

• Expand representation of end users and international stakeholders to ensure global relevance and practical applicability
• Incorporate a broader range of insights and real‑world case studies from board members, industry practitioners and external subject‑matter experts to ground recommendations in operational experience and emerging best practices
