Substations play a pivotal role as part of the nation’s critical infrastructure. Securing grids and substations from cyber threats and attacks requires a collaborative effort from multiple stakeholders.
Electric Utilities need efficient and effective strategies for the cyber defense of substations. Implementing security controls that adhere to and comply with regulatory requirements helps enhance substation security and align with national cybersecurity missions to secure critical infrastructure.
Substation audits and assessments on an on-going basis can provide timely insights. However, establishing, tracking, and monitoring multiple substation cybersecurity initiatives and ensuring regulatory compliance can be a daunting task.
Cybersecurity audits and assessments are critical to ensuring the efficacy of substation cybersecurity.
