Triangle MicroWorks is on the board of the DNP User Group and an active member of the DNP Technical Committee. If your not familiar with the DNP User Group, this is a dedicated group of mostly volunteers that develops the standards ( and licensed to the IEEE), test procedures and other key material that our DNP3-related products are based on.
The DNP Users Group (DNP-UG) is launching a series of informative workshops, open to the public, with industry leaders addressing important topics relevant to our members and the industry. Workshops will generally be followed by related tutorials and training courses for our members. OT cybersecurity is an area that is receiving increased attention with a growing consensus that vulnerabilities exist that must be addressed. However, numerous challenges make achieving comprehensive defense-in-depth OT cybersecurity in mixed networks of IP and serial communications difficult if not unlikely, especially considering the many other priorities utilities face. In addition, typical IT security solutions do not address the requirements of the SCADA environment. Significant efforts are underway to develop new standards that will address many of the unique requirements of OT cybersecurity and facilitate broad adoption. This panel will feature five industry leaders discussing design, engineering, standards and technology approaches. Our speakers are from DHS CISA, Idaho National Labs, EPRI, Xanthus Consulting and the DNP Users Group,
