Summary

Hide ▲

In June, FERC approved CIP-015-1 and directed NERC to extend internal network security monitoring to physical controls, broadening compliance expectations for bulk energy systems. The standard was already centered on cybersecurity monitoring, but the directive pushed it toward a more integrated cyber-physical model. The action affects grid operators that must align monitoring, evidence collection, and response across both digital and physical security domains.
