Spherical Analytics (SA) is working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) in their Securing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) project to develop practical, interoperable cybersecurity approaches that address 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 DERs, 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.
