The Technical Foundations for NERC CIP course has been developed to supplement other EnergySec courses that cover the NERC CIP standards and related compliance approaches. It is designed to establish a baseline of conceptual technical knowledge that is important to the understanding of, and compliance with, the NERC CIP standards. The target audience is industry professionals without significant technical technical background. However, individual sections may be useful and relevant for technical professionals that need to better understand domains outside of their core expertise.
This course is offered on-demand so it may be started at anytime after the registration is complete. Course topics will be presented at a conceptual level, with deeper technical ties and specific details being used to support conceptual undesrstanding. This course is not intended to establish technical proficiency for practitioners in specifc areas, but it should provide sufficient knowledge of the related concepts to support security and compliance oversight activities.
