Working closely with key generation (DCS) and transmission and distribution (SCADA) vendors, Symantec helps electric power companies ensure business continuity, comply with regulations and standards, avoid costly disruptions, and minimize recovery time.

NERC CIP Compliance

Most electric power companies in North America have to comply with NERC CIP (North American Electric Reliability Council Critical Infrastructure Protection) standards and consider this their most urgent IT initiative. As part of a phased-in approach to compliance, Symantec offers solutions that include best practices, consulting services, and specialized product offerings.

SCADA and DCS Comprehensive Threat Management

Business drivers requiring expanded access to SCADA and DCS networks, plus standardization of underlying technologies and protocols, provide a broader range of access points for malicious and inadvertent security incidents. Symantec has partnered with key vendors to offer a comprehensive solution that addresses the need for security and availability in order to minimize degradations and disruptions in operational environments.
