Think being a small co-op in the countryside means you can cruise on cyber security? Think again.
“Rural and small is not a reason to be less secure,” said Barry Lawson, NRECA associate director for power delivery and reliability.
Every co-op must have an incident response plan, and to make sure your plan works, Mark Weatherford has an unusual suggestion: “Go hack yourself.”
“You may think you have a good security program because your chief security officer says you do but, unless you actually do to yourself what bad guys do to you, you will never know,” said Weatherford, principal at the security and risk management advisory firm Chertoff Group, a security and risk management advisory firm in Washington.
