The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released new Supply Chain Cybersecurity Principles, developed in collaboration with INL, to improve the cybersecurity of energy supply chains. 🌐⚡ CyTRICS participants and other vendors have signed on to support the principles, which highlight multiple INL capabilities and philosophies including Cyber-Informed Engineering, impact-driven risk management and critical functions. 🤝 Read more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/evPCHmPN Learn about INL's Cyber-Informed Engineering ➡️ inl.gov/cie Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) #CyberInformedEngineering #cybersecurity #engineering #energy #SupplyChain #CleanEnergy

Cyber attacks against #criticalinfrastructure can have devastating consequences that go beyond financial and reputational loss. Critical infrastructure relies heavily on industrial control systems (ICS) that are essential to delivering and managing critical resources. Conducting regular risk assessments is a best practice for every organization to gain insight into the likelihood of an attack and its possible impact on critical systems. For #ICS, this means identifying threats and vulnerabilities in physical processes, digital counterparts, systems, and the environment.

🔐 Cybersecurity Month Spotlight: Rising Edge Group's Commitment 🔒   October is Cybersecurity Month, and at Rising Edge Group, we're proud to shine a light on our robust cybersecurity program based on NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) standards.   Our dedication to cybersecurity goes beyond technology; it's a promise to safeguard our operations, our clients, and the integrity of our industry. We stay vigilant, adapt to evolving threats, and ensure the highest level of protection in the high-voltage electrical sector.   Cybersecurity is not just a task; it's a responsibility we take seriously. Join us in championing a secure digital landscape and a future where technology is harnessed safely.   #RisingEdge #TrustTheEnergy #Canada #USA #power #electricity #energy #highvoltage #utilities #industrial #renewables #renewableenergy #substations #transmission #distribution #construction #commissioning #projectmanagement #engineering #epc #renewableprojects #sustainableenergy #CybersecurityMonth #NIST #DigitalProtection #SecureTheFuture 

Did you know that for Maritime systems, class societies have defined comprehensive rules and notations for #CyberSecurity? And recently the new Unified Rules E26 and E27 have been released that apply to new build contracted for construction on and after July 2024. Similarly, The International Maritime Organization (IMO) MSC.428(98) encourages that cyber risks are appropriately addressed in existing safety management systems no later than the first annual verification of the company's Document of Compliance after January 2021. On critical infrastructures, the NIS2 directive has also been issued in #Europe entering into force on January 16th, 2023. Member States have 21 months, until 17 October 2024, to transpose its measures into national law. Besides the above, each country and regulator is developing its own cyber requirements, and regulations continue to evolve - many centered on established NIST/NERC documentation. Are you aware of your specific segment/country cyber requirements?

🔋Energizing Infrastructure🔋 The U.S. Department of Energy in partnership with Idaho National Laboratory has developed Supply Chain Cybersecurity Principles to bolster cybersecurity across the energy sector’s supply chain. 🛢️ These principles are intended for both manufacturers and end users, aiming to enhance security measures for crucial energy infrastructure components used globally, including electricity, oil, and natural gas systems. Prominent industry players such as GE, Vernova, and Siemens have endorsed these principles, reflecting a concerted industry effort to fortify security defenses against cyber threats. 🌎 Additionally, the DOE is coordinating with international governments and industry partners to ensure these principles align with existing standards and to develop comprehensive guidance for their adoption. This initiative is part of a broader strategy, highlighted at a recent G7 Leaders’ Summit, to improve the cybersecurity of the global supply chain for critical technologies managing vital energy resources. 🤝 The principles set out by the DOE aim to establish a durable framework that promotes best practices and fosters international cooperation to mitigate cybersecurity risks in the energy sector effectively.

Cybersecurity Challenges in Europe’s Energy Sector

More than three-quarters of Canadian energy companies fail to have basic cybersecurity measures in place, a security lag that puts the country's energy infrastructure at risk, a new study has found. The research, released Aug. 24 by the cybersecurity and compliance company Proofpoint, Inc., says 77 per cent of Canadian energy companies are slow to adopt forward-thinking security measures. That has put customers, staff and stakeholders at a higher risk of email-based impersonation attacks. #disruptpossibilities Referrence -https://lnkd.in/dQEigzea #energy #technology #IndustrialControlSystems #OTAssets #ThreatVisibility #SecurityIntelligence #AIPlatform #MachineLearning #ArtificialIntelligence #AISolutions #DataDrivenPlatform #IntellectionPlatform #TrustedTechnology #IndustrySolutions #IntelligentTechnology #InnovativeSolutions #SmartTechnology #AdvancedAnalytics #TechnologySolutions #dataanalytics #miningnews #latestnews #technologyupdates

Thanks Mike Holcomb for this wonderful post. A startup like ours need to integrate these cruicial points in all projects - not only OT/ ICS assessments. We agree with the core message that ICS/OT cybersecurity fundamentals matter more than complexity. As specialists supporting clients across sectors, our experience shows that resilience stems from getting the basics right - risk assessments, personnel training, secure remote access, patching, backups, incident planning. Each organization has unique risks and constraints, but pragmatic focus on cyber essentials, though progress feels slow at first, pays dividends over time by closing gaps. Rather than get overwhelmed, keep it simple with good security hygiene habits that steadily strengthen defense. #otcybersecurity #keepitsimple #keepitreal #riskmanagement
