Title:

Enhancing the protection of industrial control systems for Canadian natural gas delivery companies

Agreement Number:

2955109

Agreement Value:

$11,600.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 20, 2019 - Mar 31, 2019

Description:

This project involves modernizing/updating an existing best practice document on the cyber security of industrial control systems for Canadian natural gas delivery companies.

Organization:

Public Safety Canada

Expected Results:

The expected result is an updated best practice document which will be disseminated among all CGA members for their internal use, thereby creating a useful reference tool for critical infrastructure stakeholders to leverage in their efforts to protect their systems. An annual inquiry will take place to determine the degree to which CGA members are leveraging the best practice document. As has been done in the past, an overview of the document may be presented at an Energy and Utilities Sector Network meeting (EUSN, which is co-chaired by NRCan and the Canadian Gas Association). The EUSN presents valuable opportunities for peers in the energy sector to share information. There has been interest from the CSA Z246.1 Security management for petroleum and natural gas industry systems Technical Committee to see an updated CGA document.
