Addressing Cybersecurity Risk 

The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association is the national service organization that represents the nation’s more than 900 private, not-for-profit, consumer-owned electric cooperatives, which provide service to 42 million people in 47 states.The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is an independent, nonprofit organization for public interest energy and environmental research, focusing on electricity generation, delivery, and use in collaboration with the electricity sector, its stakeholders and others to enhance the quality of life by making electric power safe, reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible.

On November 30, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI -  www.epri.com) will host a Summit organized by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) on cybersecurity challenges facing electric cooperatives.  The Summit is designed for CEOs, General Managers, and any cooperative staff members who have responsibility for cybersecurity in their co-op, including office administrators, staff from billing and finance, communications, and information technology staff.  Though the focus is on cybersecurity, this will not be a technical discussion; no experience in cybersecurity is required to participate.  
As part of the Summit, NRECA will discuss its $7.5 million, DOE-funded Rural Cooperative Cybersecurity Capabilities Program (RC3), focused on assisting small- and medium-sized cooperatives that have few, or no, information technology staff.  Additional information on the RC3 program is available to NRECA members on our website:  <A HREF="https://www.cooperative.com/interest-areas/CRN/research-topics/Cyber-Security/Pages/RC3.aspx" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.cooperative.com/interest-areas/CRN/research-topics/Cyber-Security/Pages/RC3.aspx</A> 
The Summit at EPRI will include a tour of EPRI's Cyber Security Research Lab (CSRL) which conducts research into protective measures technology, including advanced network and system management that allows utilities to more effectively monitor and manage operational systems’ health and security, and threat management technology based around the security operations center approach that allows utilities to efficiently detect and correlate events across organizational and functional boundaries. Additional focus is put into the research areas of end-to-end interoperability, remote access, and security architectures.
The Summit is free and open to NRECA's member cooperatives.  This will be the sixth in a series Summits to be offered around the country this year.  The agenda for each of the Summits will be similar, so we encourage members to attend the session most convenient to their location.  A copy of the agendas and presentations from the prior Summits, held in January at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, CO, in April at the University of Arkansas / SEEDS, in May at the Information Trust Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, in July at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, WA, and in October with APPA at NRECA headquarters in Arlington, VA are available to NRECA members on our website: <A HREF="https://www.cooperative.com/interest-areas/CRN/research-topics/Cyber-Security/Pages/RC3.aspx" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.cooperative.com/interest-areas/CRN/research-topics/Cyber-Security/Pages/RC3.aspx</A> 
The Summits are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability under DOE No. DE-OE0000807.
