As an energy industry professional, you understand the consequences of subpar protection and the need for reliable, iron-clad security controls. Evaluating new cybersecurity software to protect your energy environment shouldn’t involve guesswork, especially when you are trying to match capabilities to your particular needs. 

Not all organizations have the internal resources necessary to manage their cybersecurity and compliance solutions in-house. This may seem like a roadblock to those who see the greater potential of their solutions and want to do more to reach their goals but cannot expand their technical teams due to the high demand for qualified candidates or budgetary limitations. However, the services available from Fortra’s Tripwire can quickly maximize the efficacy and ROI of your solutions without added headcount.

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) maintains comprehensive reliability standards that define requirements for planning and operating the bulk electric system (BES). Among these are the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Cyber Security Standards, which specify a minimum set of controls and processes for power generation and transmission companies to follow to ensure the reliability and security of the North American power grid.

Fortra’s Tripwire NERC CIP Solution Suite is an advanced offering that augments Tripwire’s tools for meeting 24 of NERC CIP’s 44 requirements. The Tripwire NERC CIP Solution Suite allows you to achieve and maintain NERC CIP compliance with high efficacy and reduced effort. This suite includes continuous monitoring of cyber assets, automated assessment of security, and audit-ready evidence with quick generation of reports or dashboards.
