 The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)has issued its first ‘Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security’, which includes high-level security requirements, a framework for assessing risks and additional information for businesses and organizations to use as they craft strategies to protect the modernizing power grid from attacks, malicious code, cascading errors, and other threats.
The product of two formal public reviews and the focus of numerous workshops and teleconferences over the past 17 months, the three-volume set of guidelines is intended to facilitate organization-specific Smart Grid cyber security strategies focused on prevention, detection, response and recovery.
All three volumes of Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security (NISTIR 7628) can be downloaded from here.
