NERC CIP Compliance
Automate and enforce information security regulations for electric utilities
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) created a framework to protect bulk power systems against cybersecurity compromises that could lead to operational failures or instability.
NERC CIP v5 further addresses cyber-related risks facing this sector by promoting organizations to categorize Bulk Electric Systems (BES) into high, medium and low impact. Once categorized, BES assets can have appropriate Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards applied to address risk.
Easily measure NERC CIP adherence
LogRhythm helps you meet NERC CIP compliance mandates with automation modules for both v3 and v5 to assist your organization in working through the transition period. These modules will streamline your compliance and provide advanced features for monitoring and enforcement, as well as delivering content through reporting packages.
Tailor NERC CIP enforcement to fit your organization’s risk priorities
Easily customize your enforcement of NERC CIP by adjusting alarm priority to align with your at-risk BES components. Quickly prioritize events, gather forensic data and implement remediation efforts to prevent misoperation or instability. Case management will help you to facilitate your forensic investigations and incident response activities.
Reduce noise and focus your attention on the alerts that matter the most
LogRhythm’s risk-based priority algorithm applies risk and threat factors to automatically qualify alarms, so your team can spend time working the highest-risk concerns instead of being lost in the weeds.
