# Design Out the Risk: The Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) Masterclass

Stop reacting to threats. Start engineering them out of existence.

In an era where digital threats have physical consequences, traditional "bolt-on" security is no longer enough. We invite you to a session on Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE)—the framework developed to integrate security directly into the engineering design lifecycle. (pre-cursor to a more intensive option at the Level Zero Conference).

This isn't just a lecture; it’s a toolkit handover. Whether you are managing microgrids, BESS, or complex gas compressor stations, you will walk away with the exact blueprints needed to bridge the gap between the control room and the boardroom.

### Part I: The Paradigm Shift

• Meet the Architects: Introduction to the team leading the national transition toward CIE.
• The CIE Core: What is Cyber-Informed Engineering, and why is it the definitive answer to sophisticated infrastructure attacks?
• Battle-Tested: The CIE Case Study: A deep-dive post-mortem into how CIE principles transform vulnerable systems into resilient assets.

### Part II: Strategic Integration

• From Engineering to the Boardroom: How to connect CIE to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Learn the adoption pathways that secure executive buy-in and funding.
• The Implementation Roadmap: A guided discussion on applying these frameworks to your current cybersecurity program without reinventing the wheel.

### Part III: The Specialized Toolkit

• Sector-Specific Deep Dives: Tailored tool demonstrations for:
• Microgrids & BESS: Securing the distributed edge.
• Gas Compressor Stations: Protecting high-consequence kinetic environments.
• The Engineering Controls Database: A tour of the universal tools and general application libraries available to you right now.
• The Future—CMM for CIE: An exclusive first look at the upcoming Capability Maturity Model to help you measure and scale your organization’s resilience.

## What You’ll Carry Home

By the end of this session, you won’t just have "information"—you’ll have capability:

• Total Clarity: A master-level understanding of CIE principles.
• Day-One Application: The ability to plug CIE directly into your existing security workflow.
• The CIE Vault: Full access to workbooks, tools, and the Engineering Controls Database.
• Direct Access: A directory of experts and resources for ongoing implementation support.
