Staff from NERC and the E-ISAC called the recent CrowdStrike outage a useful preview for potential future cyberattacks.

Manny Cancel has been with NERC since 2020, while Stan Hoptroff has served since 2014. Both will leave in early 2025, the ERO said.

NERC CEO Jim Robb and E-ISAC CEO Manny Cancel shared their views on the electric reliability landscape in a media call.

CISA says its proposed cyber incident reporting requirements took into account feedback from NERC and other stakeholders.

The number of participating organizations fell again in GridEx VII, the second decline in a row for the biennial security exercise.

With an ever-increasing number of adversaries in cyberspace targeting the North American grid, speakers at a Texas Reliability Entity webinar emphasized that rigorous planning and testing are essential to maintaining reliability.

NERC's three-day GridEx exercise tested electric grid stakeholders on their response to a wide variety of threats.

Electric industry stakeholders discussed pressing threats to grid reliability at FERC's annual Reliability Technical Conference.

FERC OK'd the 2024 business plans and budgets for the ERO, though Commissioner James Danly called for “a significant improvement in … speed and agility.”  

Held every two years, the GridEx conference helps electric utilities and other stakeholders test and improve their security incident response plans.
