Cincinnati, OH
Many third-party financed energy projects include upgrades or expansions to facility-related control systems (FRCS). To implement FRCS upgrades or expansions, especially to energy management controls systems energy management information systems (EMIS), many project teams must incorporate risk management framework (RMF) steps to ensure cybersecurity compliance. This session will present a DoD project example that successfully planned and implemented RMF steps to achieve an authority to operate (ATO). Subject matter experts will discuss the steps required to implement RMF within an energy project and the challenges, collaboration required, and lessons learned.
