15 Years, Continuing Journey Securing, and Managing Edge Devices

This presentation details the journey a mid-size utility in the US has taken to securing the OT devices used to monitor and control their Electric grids over the last two decades. For US Electric Utilities this journey began with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) 1200 Cyber Security (Urgent Action) published in 2003. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) formally approved updated NERC CIP regulations in 2008 that imposed mandatory critical infrastructure regulations for US Bulk Transmission Electric utilities.
