CA UtilityShield Webinar Series

A structured path to resilience for critical infrastructure.​

Utilities across North America are facing a fundamental shift in how risk, resilience, and operations are managed. Growing cyber and physical threats, expanding operational dependencies, and evolving regulatory expectations are driving the need for a more connected approach to security and resilience.

The utilityshield™ Security Guide to Compliance provides a practical framework for understanding key regulatory requirements and strengthening operational resilience. By identifying actionable strategies to help protect critical infrastructure, this guide supports long-term business performance.

Operational resilience starts here.

The challenge utilities are facing.

The focus is no longer limited to protecting individual assets or meeting compliance requirements. Organizations should be prepared to maintain continuity, reduce operational risk, demonstrate accountability, and support reliable service delivery across increasingly interconnected environments.

Fragmented systems.

  • Security technologies operate independently
  • Limited visibility across sites and systems
Misaligned priorities.

  • Security, IT, and operations operate in silos
  • Investments are not always tied to risk priorities or preparedness objectives
Supply chain blind spots.

  • Vendor dependencies are not fully understood
  • Maintenance and service gaps introduce hidden risk
Reactive operations.

  • Focus on detection and response
  • Limited capability for prevention or resilience
Lack of audit readiness.

  • Documentation is incomplete or inconsistent
  • Evidence is difficult to produce under scrutiny

A structured approach to resilience.

Introducing the utilityshield™ framework.

This approach provides a structured, repeatable model to help organizations connect risk awareness, technology, operations, and documentation across the full lifecycle. Built on five interconnected stages, the framework creates a continuous path to resilience, with each stage building on the last to support ongoing improvement and long-term operational performance.

Assess

Establish a clear understanding of risk, vulnerabilities, and operational dependencies.

Align

Translate regulatory and operational priorities into actionable plans.

Implement

Deploy integrated, scalable solutions across environments.

Operate

Help maintain performance through monitoring, support, and optimization.

Document

Support governance, reporting, and evidence development.

The utilityshield™ webinar series unit 2.

Coming Fall 2026: Advancing resilience across the utility ecosystem.

The next unit of the utilityshield™ webinar series will explore how utilities can move from planning to performance through a more connected, operational approach to resilience. Sessions will focus on building a risk-informed foundation, implementing scalable infrastructure, operationalizing security technology, strengthening documentation and audit readiness, improving interoperability through unified reporting, and advancing early detection across critical utility environments.

This series will offer practical guidance for aligning stakeholders, improving visibility, standardizing workflows, and supporting long-term operational continuity across distributed infrastructure.

The facilities team is facing pressure to modernize access control across dorms, libraries, and athletic centers—without disrupting daily operations. With HID Mobile Access and Convergint’s integration expertise, the university deploys mobile credentials that allow students to unlock doors, check into events, and access services—all from their smartphones. The result? A secure, seamless experience that enhances campus safety and simplifies operations.

Use case:

Touchless access for a multi-site enterprise campus.

A large enterprise with multiple buildings across its corporate campus is looking to modernize access control while prioritizing employee health and convenience. Partnering with Convergint and HID, the company deploys mobile credentials that allow employees to access offices, meeting rooms, and shared amenities—all from their smartphones. This touchless solution reduces physical contact, supports hybrid work models, and streamlines credential management across multiple locations. Facility managers gain centralized control over access permissions, enabling real-time updates and enhanced security across the entire campus. The result: a safer, more efficient workplace experience that aligns with the organization’s commitment to innovation and employee well-being.

Use case:

Enhancing student life with mobile access.

We expect to be our customers’ best service provider.

Service is our promise. We take ownership of every detail and work with urgency, accountability, and care. Being the best doesn’t mean being the biggest. It means showing up consistently, solving problems quickly, and earning trust at every step.

We deliver results.

Our customers depend on us to protect people, assets, and operations. We take that responsibility seriously. We do what we say we’ll do, we stay until the job is done, and we measure success by the outcomes we create, not the hours we spend.

We believe in balanced lives.

People do their best work when they can show up as whole people. We support balance - at work, at home, and in the moments that matter most. When our colleagues thrive, our customers and communities do too.

We embrace a safe, inclusive, and positive work environment.

We create spaces where every colleague feels respected, supported, and able to contribute. Safety, inclusion, and wellbeing are built into how we work, how we lead, and how we show up for one another every day.

We promote fun and laughter on a daily basis.

A culture built on trust.

We step up for one another. We build long-standing relationships, not because it’s expected, but because it’s who we are.

A shared purpose.

Our values reflect more than how we work. They reflect why we work: to protect what matters most and to make a meaningful difference in every place we serve.
