Using Best Practices to Comply With NERC Cyber Security Compliance

Tags:
security management

Overview Electric power companies face increasing regulatory requirements, including NERC CIP, Sarbanes Oxley and others. To maintain these regulations can be costly and time-consuming. Moreover, 2009 is a critical year for energy and utility companies as The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) regulations require that utilities be "compliant" by July 1, 2009 and "Auditably compliant" by July 1, 2010. The pressure is on for utilities to implement effective cyber-security solutions or potentially face fines and other penalties depending on their level of non-compliance. The attendees of this webcast will learn effective practices for automated compliance in electric power generation and transmission companies. And get the opportunity to hear first-hand how a PJM Interconnection implemented their NERC CIP compliance program, and what business results they got.
