WASHINGTON, D.C. – One year ago, the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC) launched its Vendor Affiliate Program to address the ongoing cyber attacks and supply chain compromises on the North American grid. Since its inception, the program has welcomed a dozen partners committed to improving the security posture of our nation’s most critical infrastructure.
“This E-ISAC initiative has facilitated vendor collaboration with electricity industry stakeholders in a trusted environment,” said Manny Cancel, NERC senior vice president and chief executive officer of the E-ISAC. “As the threat landscape continues to evolve, the E-ISAC recognizes the importance of collaboration between the electricity industry and its vendors to strengthen our collective defense.”
The Vendor Affiliate Program is focused on increasing information sharing and providing opportunities for collaboration between the electricity industry and the vendor community. Participating vendors participate in the E-ISAC by sharing information on critical vulnerabilities and supply chain impacts as well as contributing thought leadership on security-related threats, technology and solutions.
