Hello from ERO Insider on this first day of March! Today is the National Day of Unplugging, but here we are on the Internet. Oh well, we’ll try again next year. If you’re feeling bummed because you couldn’t make that commitment, National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day probably is a much easier lift.
On with this week’s security-focused newsletter, starting with the newest version of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Cybersecurity Framework, released this week. Join Holden Mann inside to see how the organization updated the document to embrace a wider range of users. (See NIST Expands Cyber Framework in Latest Release.)
Presenters at a webinar hosted by the Texas Reliability Entity said the constant growth of cyber threats means registered entities must make sure they have a plan for when disaster strikes. Follow the link for highlights from the event. (See Texas RE Warns Cyber Plan Essential amid Growing Threats.)
Of course, cybersecurity isn’t the only kind of security. SERC staff this week shared some of their lessons learned from inspecting electric facilities for vulnerability to physical attacks, and we were there to bring you the choicest details. (See SERC: Details Crucial for Physical Security Plan.)
Thanks again for joining us! We’ll be bringing you the cutting-edge news from the world of electric reliability all next week, and of course we’ll be back on Friday with another roundup. Until then, stay safe, stay warm, and have a great week!
