3 Regulatory Trends on Cyber Security Annabelle Lee Technical Executive - Cyber Security 3

4 Current Status... Mandatory cyber security standards for the federal government are developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in coordination with other federal sector specific agencies (SSAs), has developed voluntary guidance The base document is the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) Each SSA, in collaboration with the appropriate Sector Coordinating Council (SCC), developed a Sector Specific Plan Each plan is updated annually The Department of Energy (DOE) is the SSA for the energy sector, including the electric sector Energy, IT, communications, chemical, transportation, etc Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc.

5 Current Status... NERC developed the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIPs) for the bulk power system The Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) Cyber Security Working Group (CSWG) published National Institute of Standards and Technology Interagency Report (NISTIR) 7628, Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security The document is guidance and voluntary Provides cyber security requirements at a high level Has been referenced by three states and adopted by China and Sweden DOE included security requirements in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 Grant winners are required to develop a system security plan 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc.

6 Current Trends... The NERC CIPs are being revised The mandatory implementation date for the NERC CIPs , version 3 was October 1, 2010 CIP Cyber Security - Critical Cyber Asset Identification recently updated to Version 4 Initial assessment is that the new definition will not significantly increase the number of critical cyber assets FERC and NIST are assessing the results of the FERC technical conference Some state PUCs were watching FERC for guidance H.R. 174: Homeland Security Cyber and Physical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2011 Includes prioritized critical infrastructures 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc.

7 Current Trends... GAO Report GAO : Electricity Grid Modernization Positive comments on the tasks that NIST performed on the Smart Grid Outstanding issues: NIST did not address cyber-physical attacks FERC does not have enforcement authority in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 Fragmentation of the regulatory environment complicates smart grid interoperability and cyber security Report includes recommendations DOE IG Report - IG-0846, Jan 26, 2011, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Monitoring of Power Grid Cyber Security Criticisms of the NERC CIPs With new Congress - not clear what the priorities and trends will be 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc.

24 FERC Smart Grid Technical Conference - January 2011 Annabelle Lee Technical Executive Cyber Security 24

25 Background... Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, Title XIII, Section 1305 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to coordinate the development of a framework That includes protocols and modern standards for information management To achieve interoperability of Smart Grid devices and systems At any time after NIST has reached sufficient consensus in FERC's judgment FERC shall institute a rule making proceeding to adopt such standards and protocols as may be necessary to insure Smart Grid functionality and interoperability in Interstate transmission of electric power and Regional and wholesale electricity markets. New roles for both FERC and NIST Significant pressure for NIST to move forward on the standards 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc. All rights Inc.

26 FERC Technical Conference Held January 31, 2011 at FERC 571&CalType=%20&CalendarID=116&Date=01/31/2011&Vie w=listview All five commissioners attended Presentations by George Arnold, National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability Two panels NIST process used for reviewing and selecting the five families of standards Smart Grid interoperability standards development and identification process going forward 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc. All rights Inc. All reserved. rights reserved. 26 2

27 FERC Technical Conference Initial families of standards posted by NIST IEC substation automation IEC common Information model IEC common information model IEC TASE 2/ICCP IEC security All 13 panel members, in response to a question from Chairman Wellinghoff, stated there was not sufficient consensus for adoption 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc. All rights Inc. All reserved. rights reserved. 27 2

28 Issues Raised at the FERC Technical Conference What is the definition of "adoption"? Adoption involves significant policy issues What is the definition of consensus? Applicable to the Smart Grid? Technical content reviewed and accepted by experts? Applicable to interoperability? 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc. All rights Inc. All reserved. rights reserved. 28 2

29 Issues Raised at the FERC Technical Conference Standards are a snapshot in time How do you allow for innovation? Not sufficient discussion on the context for using the standard Need further review on functionality and interoperability Significant technical cyber security issues Limitations to access of the standards 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc.

30 What's Next?... FERC is accepting comments on the presentations and the questions posted Comments due March 2, 2011 Comments on comments due March 16, 2011 May be supplemental questions posted... The path forward is not clear Both NIST and FERC are assessing the results of the technical conference Many state PUCs were waiting for FERC to perform the rule making 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc.

31 Questions? 2011 Electric Power Power Research Research Institute, Institute, Inc. All rights Inc. All reserved. rights reserved. 31 5

32 EPRI s Role Going Forward EPRI will very quickly develop a series of white papers on the adoption of standards by the electric utility industry The first white paper will present an adoption roadmap for standards in the electric utility industry The second and third white papers will provide mappings of CIM and to the adoption roadmap The fourth white paper will be a case study of a utility who has adopted one of the five NIST standard. 32

33 EPRI s Role Going Forward Wayne Longcore (Consumers Energy), Phil Slack (FPL) and Chris Knudsen (PG&E) have already volunteered to help develop the white papers George Arnold likes what is being proposed George Arnold has asked that EPRI organize a technical workshop to discuss the adoption of standards by the electric utility industry. 33
