Join us on December 9, 2021 for a deep dive into the NCCoE’s cybersecurity guidance to help energy companies protect IIoT data integrity and communications. In this session, we will cover:

  • An example IIoT solution that describes how information exchanges between commercial- and utility-scale distributed energy resources (DERs) and the electric power distribution grid can be monitored, trusted, and protected.
  • How the NCCoE collaborated with stakeholders in the electricity sector, the University of Maryland, and cybersecurity technology vendors to build a laboratory environment that represents a distribution utility interconnected with a campus DER microgrid.
  • How you can get involved in the NIST NCCoE energy sector efforts.
