From the Control Room to the Substation to the Pole
By Pam Johnson 
You may remember from my previous post about the three NERC-CIP Whitepapers that TDi Technologies recently released, which addressed the requirements in the current version 5 draft of NERC-CIP standards. The first whitepaper discussed the importance of baseline configuration as a critical security management control. This whitepaper is available at the following link: Whitepaper NERC-CIP-010-5 R1 R2
As a follow-up to this whitepaper, TDi Technologies more recently released the Baseline Configuration Management Solution Brief, which provides general information on the capabilities in ConsoleWorks for addressing Baseline Configuration Management. This solution brief is available at the following link: Solution Brief: Baseline Configuration Management
The ConsoleWorks Baseline Configuration Management Solution is designed to provide visibility and control over the configuration management practice. Without automation, configuration management is a costly operations activity that is difficult to manage and prone to mistakes that can leave the Utility provider vulnerable to cyber attack.
This solution offers Utility providers a unified solution for automating baseline configuration management of all cyber assets from the Control Room to the Substation to the Pole.
