Shedding Light on Smart Grids and Cyber Security: New Standards to Keep Them Smart and Secure

If the bulk electric system (BES) in North America suffered a cyber attack, the consequences could be serious-cities and entire states could suffer blackouts, commerce could come to a standstill, and the door could be opened for looting and even terrorist attacks. Realizing these consequences, the energy industry pressured the North American Electricity Reliability Corporation (NERC) to take a long, hard look at why the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards have not been protecting the BES as intended. To address these shortcomings and today's changing IT environment and threats, NERC proposed additional CIP standards, NERC CIP 10 and 11.

After listening to this webcast, you'll understand:

  • The cyber security threat landscape and how it's affecting the BES.
  • Why the current NERC CIPs fall short in protecting the BES.
  • What the proposed NERC CIP 10 and 11 standards are and how they will address these shortcomings.
  • Why protection of the BES requires increased situational awareness and application of IT security best practices.
  • How Tripwire® IT security and compliance automation solutions can deliver continuous cyber security and compliance.

So register now, and then learn more about these critical changes for those in the energy industry and how Tripwire VIA™ solutions, Tripwire Enterprise and Tripwire Log Center, can help.
