Threats can hide in the dark corners of your internal network

Bring them to light with NERC CIP 015-1 standards

In today's digital landscape, internal network security monitoring (INSM) is essential for protecting sensitive information and maintaining cybersecurity defenses. Explore effective INSM strategies aimed at identifying and mitigating risks within your network.

Are you confident that your internal network is secure? The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has introduced the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Reliability Standard CIP-015-1 to enhance the detection of malicious activity within the internal networks of Responsible Entities. By implementing INSM processes, organizations can effectively monitor and analyze network communications within trusted zones. The requirements apply to network communications between devices protected by the Electronic Security Perimeter (ESP), Electronic Access Control or Monitoring Systems (EACMS), and Physical Access Control Systems (PACS) of high and medium-impact Bulk Electric System (BES) Cyber Systems with External Routable Connectivity (ERC).

Implementing effective INSM strategies can help identify and mitigate hidden risks within your network. Adhering to the NERC CIP-015-1 standards can enhance organizations' cybersecurity posture and foolproof the protection of critical infrastructure. For organizations seeking specialist guidance and support in deploying these strategies, Deloitte offers services tailored to meet their cybersecurity needs.
