The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology is encouraging chief security officers to help address two information technology challenges faced by the energy sector. Feedback on two proposed “use cases” may lead to solutions providing centralized control of access to structures and systems while reducing security blind spots in their operations.
NCCoE works with industry, academic and government experts to create open, standards-based, modular, end-to-end solutions to cybersecurity challenges that are broadly applicable across a sector. The solutions are customizable to the needs of individual businesses, and help them more easily comply with relevant standards and regulations. The work is organized around use cases that describe sector-specific challenges.
