People Solution

•  So you’ve bought all of the fancy cybersecurity gizmos… –  What about the skilled staff to use

them?

•  So you’ve put cameras in all critical sites… –  What about the staff to monitor and

respond?

•  An appropriate balance of skilled people and current technology must be used

You Don’t Need a Perfect Defense

•  If defensive measures can be beaten, does the system ensure the results of the attack are : –  Unprofitable

–  Limited in its ramifications

–  Hard enough to make the “juice” not worth the “squeeze”

–  Difficult to replicate

–  Quickly and easily recoverable

–  Traceable and easy to detect; and

–  Otherwise unappealing

C Why Your Role Is Increasing

l  Increased attacks to business processes l  NERC CIP compliance l  The deployment of smart grid

l  These are increasingly drivers for cost recovery consideration and other contexts in cases that are coming your way very soon

l  Is that reflected in what you’re seeing / hearing?

C Proposal: Roles for

Public Utility Commissions 1.  Ask the right questions when considering cost

recovery of prudent utility expenditures for cyber security.

2.  Assuring that cyber security requirements that utilities are subject to are being met.

§  PUC Staff need to be up-to-date on cyber security requirements and potential threats.

3.  Assuring that the PUC’s computer systems and operations are subject to on-going cyber security reviews and remediation, and that disaster recovery plans are in place and tested.

§  This also included cyber security awareness for agency employees.

4.  Understand and participate in regional and national efforts for protecting critical infrastructure

Page 49: Don't Get Hacked! Cybersecurity Boot Camp

C l Worth saying twice: someone at the PUC staff needs to be up-to-date on cyber security requirements and potential threats.

l Ask how security is addressed (conceptually) for each component l Don’t accept assurances that all products used were built to be secure, or that IT solutions will work for SCADA systems. Insist that vendors document & independently verify their security controls

l Use “compliance” as a floor, not a ceiling: Ask to see risk assessment documentation

l Ensure security is budgeted for and individuals are assigned responsibility

l Ensure service providers (for example, telcos, meter data processors) are included in risk assessment and provide sufficient information

l Ensure integrated security between business systems and control systems for existing grid and for smart grid

Smart Grid – an Opportunity o  Modernization provides an opportunity to

improve security of the Grid o  Integration of new IT and networking

technologies n  Brings new risks as well as an array of security

standards, processes, and tools o  Architecture is key

n  Security must be designed in – it cannot be added on later

NISTIR 7628 – What it IS and IS NOT What it IS o  A tool for organizations that are researching, designing,

developing, and implementing Smart Grid technologies o  May be used as a guideline to evaluate the overall cyber risks to

a Smart Grid system during the design phase and during system implementation and maintenance

o  Guidance for organizations n  Each organization must develop its own cyber security strategy

(including a risk assessment methodology) for the Smart Grid.

What it IS NOT o  It does not prescribe particular solutions o  It is not mandatory

C Security of PUC’s computer

systems

l Assuring that the computer systems that the PUC relies have on-going cyber security reviews and remediation of identified vulnerabilities.

l Disaster recovery plans are in place and tested and Continuity of Operation Plans have been developed.

l Cyber security awareness for agency employees including social engineering and insider threats.

This may be the responsibility of another state agency or office, but the implication of a failure will impact the business operation of the Commission

C Continuity of Operation Plans

(COOP) l  Internal contingency plans of government and

business to assure the rapid resumption of essential functions as soon as possible if they are disrupted for any reason: e.g., fire, tornado, hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, terrorism, pandemics, etc. – Build Self-reliance and Resiliency

l  Helps assure that critical/essential functions can quickly resume operations

l  Addresses key or essential employees, required facilities, computer system records and back-up data systems, etc.

l  Minimize damage & losses l  Management succession & emergency powers

Resilience Factors

•  Robustness –  The ability to operate or stay standing in the face of

disaster •  Resourcefulness

–  skillfully managing a disaster once it unfolds •  Rapid Recovery

–  The capacity to get things back to normal as quickly as possible after a disaster

•  Learning lessons –  Having the means to absorb the new lessons that can be

drawn from a catastrophe

Page 73: Don't Get Hacked! Cybersecurity Boot Camp

72  The  Na'onal  Electric  Sector  Cybersecurity  Organiza'on  (NESCO)  is  a  DOE-­‐funded  EnergySec  Program  

Resilience Considerations

•  Resilience depends on humans –  Human networks are key –  Ability to work together and individually –  Potential for panic or confusion –  Build necessary connections (relationships) in advance

•  In the event of an electric power sector cyberattack, do you know: –  Your role? If not, whose role it is to act? –  Who to call? What they can /should do?

Page 74: Don't Get Hacked! Cybersecurity Boot Camp

73  The  Na'onal  Electric  Sector  Cybersecurity  Organiza'on  (NESCO)  is  a  DOE-­‐funded  EnergySec  Program  

Protecting The Right Stuff

•  Very little security actuarial data vs. engineering actuarial data

•  Most organizations don’t communicate details of security breaches

•  Most estimates are based on FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt)

•  Need better/current data on: –  What is being attacked? (most preferred targets)

–  Which attacks were successful?

74  The  Na'onal  Electric  Sector  Cybersecurity  Organiza'on  (NESCO)  is  a  DOE-­‐funded  EnergySec  Program  

Product/Service Problem(s)

•  Utilities are married to their products [and vendors] for many years

•  Most products are very expensive to replace or upgrade and challenging to coordinate

•  Product vendors are trying to balance security and profit; guess which one wins…

•  Some vendors are responsive, most are not

•  SCADA Procurement Language can help, but only for new purchases

Page 76: Don't Get Hacked! Cybersecurity Boot Camp

What Can State Regulators Do?

•  Get educated (even more than today)

•  Strategic communication, in all directions

•  Build new relationships and reshape old

•  Support measures to get actuarial data

•  Support secure procurement measures

•  Support security training/education

•  Support appropriate staffing levels

•  Rethink the rate case approach

Page 77: Don't Get Hacked! Cybersecurity Boot Camp

76  The  Na'onal  Electric  Sector  Cybersecurity  Organiza'on  (NESCO)  is  a  DOE-­‐funded  EnergySec  Program  

What Can State Regulators Do?

•  Ask questions… –  Are you using the SCADA Procurement Language?

–  Are you participating in local, state, regional, national security/disaster exercises?

–  What security training/education/awareness are you providing to your staff and how often?

–  Where do you get your situational awareness data?

–  What cybersecurity technologies do you use?

–  Have you performed a full [exhaustive] inventory of all control systems and all associated communication links?

Education and Training

•  What is happening in Operations, Federal, States?

•  OpSec, Red-Blue, Security Body of Knowledge, security concepts

•  Security practices change rapidly –  Need for training on new tactics and new technology is

perpetual

•  Lack of education leads to a false sense of security –  Otherwise known as knowing just enough to be dangerous

Page 79: Don't Get Hacked! Cybersecurity Boot Camp

78  The  Na'onal  Electric  Sector  Cybersecurity  Organiza'on  (NESCO)  is  a  DOE-­‐funded  EnergySec  Program  

Communication

•  Ratepayers want a secure grid, until they see the bill –  Expect rate shock

–  Rates could triple or more, for some infrastructures

•  “Common Practice” vs. “Best Practice”

•  Early and regular, fact-based communication can minimize negative public reaction

•  Remind ratepayers that smart, informed decisions are being made

Page 80: Don't Get Hacked! Cybersecurity Boot Camp

79  The  Na'onal  Electric  Sector  Cybersecurity  Organiza'on  (NESCO)  is  a  DOE-­‐funded  EnergySec  Program  

Communication

•  Keep the story fresh; lather, rinse, repeat

•  Leverage existing Safety communication vehicles/mechanisms –  Newsletters

–  Mailers, billing notices

–  Public service announcments

–  Sponsored events

•  Partner with utilities, Federal agencies and even Media to convey a unified message

80  The  Na'onal  Electric  Sector  Cybersecurity  Organiza'on  (NESCO)  is  a  DOE-­‐funded  EnergySec  Program  

Relationships

•  Get out and talk to your operators

•  Get to know the industry thought leaders

•  What are your peers doing?

•  Situational Awareness –  NESCO, VirtualUSA, Einstein, Fusion centers, Infragard…

•  Take a partnership approach to the rate case (vs. adversarial) as much as possible

Closing Thoughts

•  Cybersecurity is worth taking seriously, but will have to fit into a long list of concerns and priorities

•  There are few response networks for utility sector cybersecurity among State Governments

•  Few of those evaluating cybersecurity investments understand cybersecurity

•  An unskilled operator of any power tool will hurt themselves and those around them –  Training and staffing are imperative

•  A culture shift is the first ingredient for success

•  Soft-skills may matter more than technical skills
