- Specifically, the new standards require entities to develop and implement plans to address supply chain cybersecurity risks during the planning and procurement of bulk electric grid security systems.
- The standards, filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, will address concerns that supply chains for information and communications technology and industrial control systems present risks to grid security, providing opportunities for cyberattacks.
