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.
Coming Soon!
UTC ARMOR™ enables UTC members (vendors) to recognize their security practices through its badging program. Each time a member receives a certificate, a badge is displayed within the platform. Members can promote their badges within the UTC ARMOR platform.
By utilizing the ISA/IEC 62443 standards to analyze software, embedded devices, and network systems thoroughly, UTC ARMOR™ is designed to enhance awareness of international standards acknowledged by industry experts as best practices in cybersecurity.
UTC members (vendor/supplier) may volunteer or submit their current certifications for evaluation by independent third parties of their choosing. Once the evaluation is complete, the vendor may share its certification results with UTC to be included in the UTC ARMOR™ program and receive a security badge.
UTC’s steering committee meets regularly to review key considerations, features, and functionality of the UTC ARMOR™ program, explicitly identifying the needs of UTC’s utility and vendor participants.
The UTC ARMOR™ Program aims to strengthen the security and resilience of critical infrastructure by incorporating a robust cybersecurity framework and ensuring strict adherence to international standards.
The UTC ARMOR™ aims to enhance the security and resilience of critical infrastructure by integrating established industry best practices and certifications.
Supports adherence to regulatory requirements, reduces legal risks, and enhances compliance with international cybersecurity standards.
