Now that NERC compliance is the official standard for cyber security, any utility that doesn't meet the new standards is risking: revenue loss; downtime for your plant; operator error; a damaged or lost reputation; and the potential of incurring multi-million dollar fines.
As the only I&C provider that also designs and builds power plants, Siemens has a cyber security team that understands not only your compliance issues but also the business and operational challenges you're now facing. Together, we'll help you devise a highly effective strategy, including cyber-secure I&C products and technologies for both the short- and long-term.
