I’m pleased
to announce that I will join Steve Parker and Karl Perman of EnergySec for two
webinars discussing interpretation issues with CIP version 5 and what NERC
entities can do about them – given that the compliance date remains April 1,
2016.
The first
webinar, on May 20 at 10 to 11 AM Pacific Time, will discuss issues with
CIP-002-5.1. You can sign up for it here. The second webinar, on June 18 at 10-11 PT,
will discuss issues with the other CIP v5 and v6 standards. You can sign up for that webinar here.
Note that
both webinars will be recorded. So even
if you can’t make one or both, go ahead and sign up so you’ll receive the link
to the recording when it’s available.
Here’s the
story:
NERC
entities have many questions regarding interpretation of the requirements and
definitions of NERC CIP Version 5. NERC has provided some guidance on
some of these questions, but in very few cases can that guidance be said to be
definitive. For the remaining issues, NERC entities need to research whatever
guidance is available, but in the end it is up to each entity to determine and
document how it will address each issue.
To help you
understand some of the major issues in CIP Version 5 and the ways they can be
addressed, EnergySec is pleased to present two webinars, on May 20 and June
18. In each webinar, three well-known specialists on CIP Version 5, Steve
Parker and Karl Perman of EnergySec and Tom Alrich of Deloitte & Touche LLP, will identify certain major
issues with CIP v5 and provide recommendations on how NERC entities can address
each one.
The views and opinions expressed here are my own and don’t
