Securing the power grid: Are you ready for NERC CIP’s upcoming mandate?

A defense-in-depth strategy is one that protects organizations from attacks that bypass the first layer of security controls. It is a well understood concept, and one that has been adopted by most organizations over the years. However, until recently, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) presented a gap where regulation required securing the electronic security perimeter (ESP), but there were no further security controls beyond the network perimeter. If utilities followed NERC CIP, and…

Keeping the lights on: Brazilian power utility wins cybersecurity award for securing grid network with Cisco

Cyberattacks on electric power utilities are on the rise. From 2020 to 2022, weekly attacks more than doubled. An attack that exploits a vulnerability in intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) like power distribution units, relay, and circuit breakers can turn off the lights in a neighborhood or entire city. On the surface, it seems simple enough to remediate vulnerabilities as soon as they’re reported—for example, by upgrading firmware. Fact is, detecting and remediating vulnerabilities in operational…

SD WAN solutions for utility distribution automation

Networks are expanding outside traditional office buildings and into industrial fixed and mobile use cases. This results in more devices being connected to the Internet and data centers as well as increased security exposure. IoT has moved traditional networking far beyond the carpeted spaces and into industries like Fleets, Oil & Gas, Energy & Water Utilities, Remote Condition Monitoring and Control — basically anything that can establish a wide area connection. Moreover, these industrial networks…
