APPA Details How it Can Help Implement DOE Cybersecurity Grant and Technical Assistance Program | American Public Power Association

This article from APPA (click Read More Button below) contains several overlapping messages with REA's own filing for the DOE RMUC program:

  • We need to help smaller utilities implement cybersecurity protections
  • Smaller utilities may lack cybersecurity skills; we need to provide tools that implement cybersecurity best practices to help these utilities monitor for cyber risks, i.e., software vulnerabilities
  • We need to improve information sharing; The Software Assurance Guardian Community Trust Registry (SAG-CTRâ„¢) can help inform utilities of known trusted software that has achieved endorsements from other utilities.
