The Utilities Technology Council (UTC) introduces the ARMOR Program to enhance the security and resilience of critical infrastructure within the electric power, gas, and water utility sectors.
The Utilities Technology Council (UTC) introduces the ARMOR Program to enhance the security and resilience of critical infrastructure within the electric power, gas, and water utility sectors. The program integrates a comprehensive security framework using globally recognized cybersecurity standards, focusing on supply chain security.
Utilizes the ISA/IEC 62443 standards to conduct thorough analyses of software and hardware components throughout the supply chain. This includes evaluating and certifying product security to ensure all components adhere to stringent security protocols and meet international cybersecurity standards. This analysis is crucial for mitigating risks associated with third-party vendors and suppliers.
Incorporates industry best practices for evaluating 3rd party risks at an enterprise, product and component level. Industry best practices developed by NIST, NERC and IEC/ISASecure. are operationalized within the ARMOR Program.
Maintains up-to-date ARMOR assessments by continuously monitoring systems’ software, product, and geopolitical risks.
The ARMOR Program is designed to fortify the security and resilience of critical infrastructure by integrating a comprehensive cybersecurity framework and ensuring rigorous compliance with international standards.
