vis|ability and NERC-CIP Environments
Overview
Electric utilities operate within one of the most highly regulated cybersecurity environments in critical infrastructure. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC-CIP) standards establish mandatory cybersecurity requirements for systems that support the reliable operation of the Bulk Electric System (BES).
The vis|ability platform is designed to operate within NERC-CIP regulated environments, enabling utilities to maintain operational awareness while supporting the cybersecurity practices required for systems operating on regulated assets.
Deployment on NERC-CIP Regulated Assets
vis|ability is actively deployed on NERC-CIP regulated assets throughout the electric utility industry. These deployments demonstrate the platform’s ability to operate within secured operational technology (OT) environments that are subject to strict cybersecurity policies and regulatory oversight.
Operating on CIP-regulated assets requires utilities to perform extensive security and operational reviews of any software introduced into those environments. vis|ability has successfully passed these evaluations across multiple deployments, enabling utilities to maintain real-time operational visibility while adhering to the cybersecurity protections required for Bulk Electric System operations.
Notably, vis|ability was the first video wall controller software deployed on assets subject to NERC-CIP auditing requirements, highlighting vis|ability’s long-standing commitment to secure critical infrastructure environments.
