POWER Engineers understands the importance of security in maintaining your operation’s reliability. This includes — but also goes beyond — the NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) compliance requirements. We work with you to develop secure electric power systems that systematically and sustainably reduce risk, improve reliability, and achieve NERC CIP compliance.
In the electronically-automated environment that is today’s bulk electric system, it is essential to protect your critical cyber assets (CCA) from outside attacks.

As part of the process we can design the appropriate security system for your situation.
