Why NERC CIP Matters

The North American Bulk Electric System (BES) powers industries, communities, and critical infrastructure across the continent. As the grid becomes increasingly digitized, it also becomes more exposed to sophisticated cyber threats.

NERC CIP (North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection) standards exist to protect this system. They are:

  • Mandatory and legally enforceable, approved by FERC in the U.S. and adopted in parts of Canada.
  • Regularly updated to reflect new cyber risks and technologies.
  • Designed specifically for the Bulk Electric System
