Vendors Sought to Develop Model System to Monitor Security of Energy Industry Networked Control Systems

02/10/2015 02:44 PM EST

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) is seeking collaborators on an effort to help energy companies improve the security of the networked technologies they rely upon to control the generation, transmission and distribution of power. Participants would provide products and technical expertise to create a model, standards-based system that could capture, transmit and analyze data from industrial control systems and related networking equipment—in real or near-real time.

Companies interested in participating in the reference design project must submit a letter of interest in which they outline their proposed contribution. Full details of this process are published in a Federal Register notice (docket number 141231999-4999-01) at https://federalregister.gov/a/2015-01844. Those selected to participate will enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with NIST.
