NARUC

During this week’s Energy Regulators Regional Association (ERRA) meeting of Member Chairmen, Presidents, and Commissioners and with USAID support, NARUC shared regulatory best practices for bolstering the cybersecurity of critical energy infrastructure, as well as country-specific case studies regarding utility preparedness and cybersecurity investments. By learning more about these topics, participants are more equipped to assess the vulnerability of their energy sectors and take measures to prevent and minimize the impact of risks and cybersecurity incidents.   #cybersecurity #criticalinfrastructure #energysector
