Cybersecurity Framework Smart Grid Profile

NIST Technical Note 2051, Cybersecurity Framework Smart Grid Profile, July 2019

The Smart Grid Profile applies risk management strategies from the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (Cybersecurity Framework) to the smart grid and will serve as a foundation for refinements to support new grid architectures. The Profile provides cybersecurity risk management guidance to power system owners/operators byprioritizing cybersecurity activities based on their effectiveness in helping power system owners/operators achieve common high-level business objectives for the smart grid. The Profile also provides a list of considerations relevant to the challenges power system owners/operators may experience as they implement these cybersecurity activities in infrastructures with high concentrations of distributed energy resources (DERs).

Why buy a book you can download for free? We print the paperback book so you don't have to.

First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour.

It's much more cost-effective to just order the bound paperback from Amazon.com
