Beyond Compliance: NERC CIP 003 - Considerations Beyond Remote Vendor Access
This webinar will delve into the critical considerations for securing industrial control systems (ICS) beyond the standard requirements of NERC CIP 003, with a focus on remote vendor access. While CIP 003 outlines the baseline security measures for low-impact Bulk Electric System (BES) assets, the evolving landscape of cyber threats necessitates additional layers of protection. This presentation will offer a comprehensive overview of the advanced security measures necessary to safeguard your ICS environment.
Our expert speaker will cover best practices for managing vendor access, emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring, and provide actionable strategies for mitigating risks associated with remote connections.
This presentation is designed for professionals seeking to enhance their security posture by integrating advanced controls and understanding the broader implications of vendor access within their cybersecurity framework. Whether you are an IT manager, security professional, or compliance officer, we will equip you with the knowledge to bolster your defenses against sophisticated cyber threats.
