Problem
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) provides specific guidelines for the power industry organizations, thus encouraging compliance with reliability and security standards. The Reliability standard provided by the NERC CIP imposes strict security requirements explicitly designed for critical infrastructure protection.
It is not hard for an enterprise to meet the NERC CIP requirements and ensure compliance with the standards with respect to regular system applications and devices with the help of traditional solutions. However, these solutions have poor coverage of SAP Applications used in the power industry and other critical areas.
