NERC Compliance Programs and Solutions
Secure North American bulk power systems from harmful attacks
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) exists to improve the reliability of the critical bulk power SCADA systems that create and transport electricity around the continent, and the goal of a NERC compliance program is to ensure that the bulk electric system in North America is reliable, adequate and secure. It's not enough to just plan for natural disasters or accidents-the bulk power system now must be planned, designed, built and operated in a manner that also takes into account modern threats to security, including attacks from cyber criminals. NERC compliance programs are required to help prevent these attacks.
It's crucial to keep the bulk power system safe from threats, which is why any bulk power system owner or operator must adhere to NERC compliance standards.
