How Grid Exercises Shape Real-World Resilience
The reliability of the electricity sector is increasingly tested by both physical and cyber threats. Large-scale exercises like GridEx have played a critical role in shaping how industry leaders, asset owners, and operators respond to crises. In this episode, we sit down with Jesse Sythe, Program Manager for GridEx at E-ISAC, to discuss the role of these exercises in enhancing industry-wide resilience.
We’ll explore how GridEx has evolved over the years, the thought leadership that has emerged from key coordinating bodies like the ESCC, and what it takes to ensure executive-level engagement in response and remediation. With GridEx VIII on the horizon, Jesse will share insights into the most pressing threats facing the sector and how lessons learned from these exercises can be applied beyond the grid to other critical infrastructure sectors.
We’ll also address the recent policy changes affecting the ESCC and what that means for industry coordination going forward.
