Sparks over Power Grid Cybersecurity
To counter well-documented vulnerabilities in the networks that control
electric power distribution in the United States, the North American
Electrical Reliability Council (NERC), on April 9, 2003, published a
proposed security standard for North American power companies. The proposal
will be voted on in May 2003 and, if passed, compliance will be monitored
and enforced. According to the new standards, power companies will be
required to launch cyber security training programs, write security
policies and identify their critical cyber assets, among other things.
Specific cybersecurity guidelines are also in the works. Some industry
insiders worry that this new regulatory zeal may force power firms to make
substantial security investments in a difficult economic climate.
