NERC

Incorporate all NERC standards

North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) standards were set to ensure the reliability of the bulk power system in North America. Through their Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards, NERC has created a guiding framework that reaches across every segment of the power industry-outlining the configuration security benchmarks each entity must meet in order to secure their cyber assets, get compliant, and then stay that way.


Tripwire automates the compliance of the most challenging sections of the CIPs, helps ensure the security of the electronic perimeter, and provides management of critical systems.

Tripwire delivers a comprehensive solution by:

  • Automating NERC compliance by rapidly assessing the IT infrastructure and matching current configurations against configurations mandated by NERC's CIP Standards.
  • Maintaining continuous NERC compliance by constantly monitoring configurations, alerting IT if a non-compliant change is made and by generating NERC-specific audit artifacts.
  • Automating the repair of configurations that intentionally or accidentally fall from secure and compliant states
  • Monitoring and logging access at access points
  • Mitigating cyber security risks by monitoring and reporting on every change made or attempted.
  • Integrating with leading change management systems to detect unauthorized change and non-conforming configurations.
