NERC CIP Compliance Training Offered by Former Auditors
The National Electric Sector Cybersecurity Organization (NESCO) is pleased to announce the formation of a NERC CIP Compliance Training Program.
Portland, OR, June 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Cyber security is constantly evolving. Consequently, the regulatory landscape needs to keep up with these changing tides in order to assure that there is a consistent and adequate measure of security discipline being applied to the power grid. Discovering ways to efficiently and effectively apply good security practice and meet regulatory obligations at the same time is not easy. This training program is designed to arm the attendees with the tools and knowledge necessary to build a security program that will help your organization achieve that goal.
This event is focused on developing security practices that assist in achieving North America Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) compliance. This one-day learning opportunity will feature informative sessions led by instructors who have first hand knowledge of utility operations and CIP compliance. All three instructors have previously been CIP Auditors and have practical security experience working for electric utilities.
