OT/IT Convergence in Power Industry
North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has established the compliance process for auditing the critical infrastructure protection (CIP) for substations and power control centers. Since 2006 the establishment of vulnerability assessment has been promoted in cyber assets. In a more recent development of cybersecurity planning for operational technology (OT) network, an anomaly detection framework is encouraged by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for power utilities using commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) systems. This framework can be based on a wide range of technological innovations to ensure proper cybersecurity system deployment. In this seminar I will review some of the critical components of substation technologies, the lifecycle of software systems, and the necessary coordination between power engineers and IT personnel within an organization of a utility.
