CIP Foundations (included in the C3P and C2T programs)

CIP Deep Dive (Mon-Wed)

This course begins with foundational knowledge of the CIP standards, concepts, and terminology, including a full review of the low impact requirements. Next the course dives deep into standards CIP-004 through CIP-014, covering every requirement in depth with discussions on compliance approaches.

Technical Foundations (Thu)

This course provides conceptual understanding of technical topics relevant to the CIP standards. Course topics will be presented at a conceptual level, with deeper technical dives and specific details being used to support conceptual understanding. The course is not intended to establish technical proficiency for practitioners in specific areas, but it should provide sufficient knowledge of the related concepts to support security and compliance oversight activities.

Industry Fundamentals (Fri)

This course is intended to provide background information on industry operations to enable a better understanding of the context and relevance of CIP standards. The target audience is compliance professionals who lack background in some or all areas of utility operations.
