OT Office Hours: Executive Order 14420 and What It Means for Utility OT Security
A national emergency declaration on foreign-produced bulk-power equipment sounds dramatic. The compliance mechanics are still being written. Join us for a straight walkthrough of what’s confirmed, what’s still open, and the work you can start today without waiting on DOE.

hi! can we get this posted for office hours:
A new federal executive order just gave the Department of Energy authority to block or place conditions on foreign-produced equipment across the bulk-power system, and it applies to equipment already installed, not just future purchases.
You’ve probably already had someone ask what this means for your environment. Next week on OT Office Hours, we’re breaking down Executive Order 14420: what it actually covers, how it’s likely to affect procurement and existing equipment, and what OT teams can do now to prepare before the Department of Energy’s implementing rules take shape.
Joining us for this one is Brian Scott, who spent his career on the inside of exactly these decisions. Before advising clients at Imperium Global Advisors, Brian held senior roles at the White House Office of the National Cyber Director and the National Security Council, focused on critical infrastructure and supply chain cybersecurity, and served as Director for Policy at CISA. Add 28 years as a naval aviator before that, and you get someone who understands both how federal cyber policy gets made and what it takes to operate under real pressure.
If you’re trying to separate the real compliance work from the headlines, this is a conversation worth your time.
