If you only have time to read one article on software supply chain cybersecurity risks, make sure this is the one! This is the most comprehensive report I've read on the topic of software supply chain cyber threats and trends, to date. We will be discussing the very same topics identified in this report from the Atlantic Council during our Energy Central PowerSession on 8/12; I hope you will join us and participate in what promises to be a very lively and insightful discussion: https://energycentral.com/event/energy-central-powersession-cybersecurity-us-power-grid-software-supply-chain-risks-and

Q&A with Richard Brooks after his Energy Central PowerSession: Cybersecurity on the U.S. Power Grid: Software Supply Chain Risks and Mitigations for NERC CIP-010-3

Do you have any thoughts on how to verify the validity of a relay's firmware prior to installing it outside of taking the software's word for it?

Are file hashes of files from a vendor a viable option for an additional security measure?

Is penetration testing the best way of monitoring and checking how safe and secure your system is?

How can you map NIST NVA systems/components to NERC levels, and how can you relate NIST risk to risk of the BES?

What role will blockchain / self-sovereign identity play in the future of utility security?

What is the best way to verify software integrity and validation other than file hashing when applying patches to BES Cyber assets?
