Join Encari for its complimentary "NERC CIP Cyber Vulnerability Assessments 101" Webinar

NERC CIP Cyber Vulnerability Assessments 101

Join us for our Webinar on Tuesday, May 25th, beginning at 10:30 am CDT

Assessing cyber vulnerabilities is an important aspect of sound information security practices that is common in most organizations. There are many well known tools and methodologies for assessing vulnerabilities that have been available for some time.

Performing vulnerability assessments against industrial control systems, however, entails an extremely complex process. Typical methodologies and the indiscriminate use of vulnerability scanning tools can easily wreak havoc on industrial control systems. Furthermore, regarding the electric utility sector, the NERC CIP Reliability Standards, which require the execution of annual cyber vulnerability assessments, dictates very specific controls that must be assessed.

Is your organization working to comply with the cyber vulnerability assessment requirements set forth in CIP-005-2 R4, Electronic Security Perimeter(s) and CIP-007-2 R8, Systems Security Management? Individuals engaged in such efforts know that complying with all aspects of these requirements is far from trivial.

Encari has worked with a number of generation and transmission cooperatives and privately held generation and transmission companies to help them understand the cyber vulnerability assessment requirements and successfully implement practical solutions. Take an hour to hear Encari’s Lenny Mansell discuss these and other issues:

What are the NERC CIP cyber vulnerability requirements and what do they specifically require?
Do organizations go beyond that which is specifically required? Why?
What are some common approaches to complying with the standards, including advantages and disadvantages?
What are the differences between the requirements prescribed in CIP-005-2 R4 (Electronic Security Perimeters) vs. CIP-007-2 R8 (Systems Security management)?
What is the best way to comply with the NERC CIP cyber vulnerability assessment requirements?
