Course description
NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Overview
The Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) set of standards was developed by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) to ensure the protection of any assets used to operate North America’s Bulk Electric System (BES). Any entity that owns or operates any type of BES in the United States, Canada and Mexico must be compliant with NERC CIP requirements.
Captiva Solutions' NERC CIP Overview course reviews a selection of key topics on the protection of critical infrastructure that is part of the Bulk Electric Systems (BES). This three-day course provides a high-level overview of each NERC CIP reliability standard including an understanding of the present standards and a view of standards subject to future enforcement. Participants are presented with vital cybersecurity concepts, including applicable cyber threats and relevant defense mechanisms; and will understand the concepts behind reliable operation of the bulk power system.
