Description:
The CAREC Resilient Power Series 2026 began with the team from WIT ONE, delivering a high‑impact discussion on the future of power utility cybersecurity in the Caribbean. Attendees heard how NERC CIP standards—developed to safeguard the North American bulk electric system—establish critical requirements for asset identification, governance, access control, monitoring, incident response, and recovery across the power grid. The session was a clear, practical overview of the full NERC CIP framework and how these requirements can be right‑sized and applied to strengthen resilience and reliability for Caribbean generation, transmission, and distribution utilities.
