Spherical Analytics is working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) in the Securing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT): Cybersecurity for Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) Project to develop practical, interoperable cybersecurity approaches that address the real-world needs of distributed energy resource (DER) environments.
By accelerating dissemination and use of these integrated tools and technologies for protecting IIoT in and among distributed energy resources, the NCCoE will enhance trust in U.S. information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) communications, data, and storage systems; reduce risk for companies and individuals using IT/OT systems; and encourage development of innovative, job-creating cybersecurity products and services. NIST does not evaluate commercial products under this consortium and does not endorse any product or service used.
