Wind Project O&M and Safety Conference

Preparing for the NERC CIP Evolution (Room Sunset IV - V)

If anything was learned from 2016 is that cybersecurity is important and has grave consequences for those that fail to take it seriously. This session will help prepare for the changes to NERC CIP regulations from version 5 to 6 and beyond.  Speakers will look at the impacts and challenges to wind operations and increased cybersecurity expectations of turbine suppliers.  Is there tension between compliance and security?   Which NERC CIP requirements, if any, require additional interpretation or consistency within the industry and with the regulators?
