Cybersecurity in Energy Supply Chain: FERC's New Standards
Energy Supply Chain and Cybersecurity: A Growing Concern
Cybersecurity remains a pressing issue as the energy supply chain faces increasing threats from malicious entities. In response, FERC has proposed new standards aimed at enhancing the protection of critical infrastructure. These measures are essential to safeguard essential services and ensure operational resilience.
New Standards and Their Implications
FERC's proposal seeks to implement stringent Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards, addressing vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cyber adversaries. This initiative underscores the importance of proactive measures to mitigate risks in the energy sector.
- Critical Infrastructure Protection Standards
- National Security Implications
- Enhancing Resilience Against Cyber Threats
- Identify potential threats in the energy supply chain.
- Implement new CIP standards to ensure compliance.
- Continually assess and adapt to evolving cyber risks.
