"New Cyber Technologies Protect Utility Energy Delivery Systems"

Researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) worked with utility advisors and companies specializing in vulnerability identification to develop two new web-based tools aimed at mitigating cybersecurity vulnerabilities in operational technologies. The first tool, called Mitigation of Externally Exposed Energy Delivery Systems (MEEDS), helps utilities monitor and quickly identify internet-connected control system devices and their known vulnerabilities. PNNL's second tool, called Safe, Secure Autonomous Scanning Solutions for Energy Delivery Systems (SSASS-E), identifies vulnerabilities contained by energy delivery systems that can emerge within a utility's firewall. This article continues to discuss the capabilities of MEEDS and SSASS-E.
