This full day interactive course, taught by former NERC CIP auditors and NERC Certified System Reliability Operators, will address cyber security solutions and methods to help secure the power grid and meet the NERC CIP standard requirements.
Their hands-on utility experience, along with a keen understanding of what is needed to demonstrate compliance, has been distilled into a one day course.
Cyber security is constantly evolving. Consequently, the regulatory landscape needs to keep up with these changing tides in order to assure that there is a consistent and adequate measure of security discipline being applied to the power grid. Discovering ways to efficiently and effectively apply good security practice and meet regulatory obligations at the same time is not easy. This training program is designed to arm the attendees with the tools and knowledge necessary to build a security program that will help your organization achieve that goal.
The instructors will cover NERC CIP version 4 and 5 providing insight into how they are likely to impact your organization.
Targeted audience
This course is for IT, security, compliance professionals and operations staff working at an electric utility seeking to find ways to meet their compliance obligations, reduce their regulatory documentation burden and improve their security posture. It is also for those not in the industry and have an interest in learning more about electric sector cybersecurity solutions.
