Responding to a gap identified in the reporting of cybersecurity incidents, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Thursday proposed broadening mandatory reporting requirements to include incidents that attempt to compromise the grid.
Under the current critical infrastructure protection reliability standard at issue, reporting is limited to incidents that compromise or disrupt at least one reliability task. As such, no incidents were reported in 2015 or 2016, likely understating “the true scope of cyber-related threats facing the bulk electric system,” Margaret Scott, a staffer in FERC’s Office of Electric Reliability, told the commission Thursday at its open meeting.
