The North American Electric Reliability Corporation's Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) standards are pivotal in safeguarding the reliability and security of the North American power grid. With the deadline for NERC CIP-003-9 looming in April 2026, asset owners face significant challenges in aligning their cybersecurity measures with these stringent requirements. This presentation will explore challenges and elements for key NERC CIP-003-9 requirements and an example of successful implementation
The maritime industry is the cornerstone of global trade, with approximately 80% of the world’s goods transported by sea. Vessels, whether they are container ships, tankers, or drill ships, are designed to be in service for 25 years or more. This longevity presents unique challenges, especially the need for continuous maintenance and system upgrades, including cybersecurity measures.
Change—both planned and unplanned—is one of the biggest risk factors in industrial operations. Without a structured approach, even minor changes can introduce vulnerabilities that threaten safety, reliability, and resilience.
Industrial environments are different—and so is the approach required to assess them safely and effectively.
Traditional approaches to OT security face many significant challenges, including manual processes, resource constraints, scalability issues, and safety risks from live testing.
