Summary
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are rapidly becoming critical infrastructure — supporting grid stability, renewable integration, and energy resilience. But as these sites scale, connect, and automate, they also introduce a new and expanding attack surface with real-world safety, reliability, and financial consequences.
High Voltage, High Stakes: Threat Hunting at Battery Sites examines why traditional OT security controls fall short in battery environments and why proactive threat hunting is essential for identifying risks before they escalate into outages, safety incidents, or regulatory events.
In this live session, Dan Gunter, CEO of Insane Cyber, and John Guptill, Director of Managed & Professional Services, will draw from real-world field experience to break down how attackers can target battery sites, where visibility gaps commonly exist, and how organizations can apply adversary-driven threat hunting techniques tailored to BESS and energy infrastructure.
This discussion moves beyond theory and tools to focus on practical detection, validation, and response strategies that help defenders understand what’s actually happening inside battery sites — and what isn’t being seen until it’s too late.

When it comes to securing industrial environments, host and network data are two halves of the same story. Network data shows you what’s moving, where it’s going, and how it flows, but without host data, you can miss the “why” and “how” behind suspicious activity.

Host data gives the inside view: process activity, system changes, and user actions that can reveal the root cause of an incident.

Without both puzzle pieces, you’re left with blind spots: gaps that attackers can exploit, incidents that can escalate unnoticed, and risks that remain hidden until it’s too late.

In this webinar, we will explore how bringing host and network data together in a single platform changes the outcome. Correlating events gives security teams the full picture of an attack, helps validate alerts quickly, and uncovers threats that would otherwise remain hidden. You will see how this approach works in OT environments and why it is becoming essential for agencies and critical infrastructure operators.
