Dramatic increase in worldwide computer interconnectivity poses significant risks to the critical operations and infrastructure (power distribution system) they support. This puts control systems - which includes supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and distributed control systems - susceptible to cyber attacks that can cause serious damage and disruption by cyber means. As such, EP Act 2005 has empowered North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) to develop mandatory and enforceable electric system reliability standards. Any violation of NERC reliability standards will impose hefty penalties or sanctions against the entity.
