From Smart Grid to No Grid NERC, Cyber Security and the Electrical Grid

Why Should You Attend:

Cyber security is constantly evolving. As a result, the regulatory landscape needs to keep up with these changing tides in order to assure that there is a consistent and adequate measure of security discipline being applied to the power grid.

In this webinar, attendees will learn how critical infrastructure protection is integrated with other aspects of utility management, and understand opportunities for compliance, such as:

• Help analyze information risk based on industry best practices, regulatory requirements, and analysis of access and activity data, and help organizations identify the areas of greatest risk to prioritize and focus remediation projects.
• Protect information, policies and procedures associated with critical cyber assets by identifying and implementing electronic access controls to critical cyber assets within the electronic security perimeter. Denying unauthorized access is the most effective data loss prevention; a single policy set can now bring all file servers and document repositories into compliance.
• Prevent insider data loss in real time on endpoints, servers and mobile devices, to help end users protect data and eliminate manual remediation. This simplifies data security for end users, enabling rapid adoption of information risk controls.
• Identify policies and procedures that can enhance your company’s compliance strategies.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• Definitions of critical infrastructure
• NERC reliability obligations and energy policy
• Smart grid and other vulnerabilities to electricity reliability
• What your company can do to comply with NERC’s CIP requirements
• How cyber security requirements and environmental regulatory compliance are linked

Who Will Benefit:

• Energy professionals
• Energy lawyers
• Energy and reliability consultants
• Energy policy groups
• Environmental policy groups
• Clean power and renewable energy professionals
• Oil and gas professionals

Instructor Profile:

Tamar Cerafici is an internationally recognized leader and legal specialist in the often complex and challenging nuclear regulatory industry, including the role nuclear energy plays in the reliability and operation of the grid. She has been at the forefront of the industry in building regulatory and policy framework for a new generation of nuclear plants. Ms. Cerafici is one of a handful of environmental attorneys who has developed both phases of the NRC's streamlined permitting structure. She was a major contributor to the first Early Site Permit granted under 10 CFR part 52, successfully implementing alternative site analyses that have become the general standard. She followed that up by authoring site analyses for the first Combined Operating License Application (COLA) submitted to the NRC.

In addition to assessing the environmental impact of nuclear power, Ms. Cerafici has consulted widely on security matters and electric reliability.
