    Hi All,

    IEEE recently issued IEEE 1686-2022 Standard for Intelligent Electronic Devices Cybersecurity Capability.

    Scope
    The standard defines the functions and features to be provided in intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) to accommodate cybersecurity programs. The standard addresses security regarding access, operation, configuration, firmware revision, and data retrieval from an IED. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability of external interfaces of the IED are also addressed.

    Purpose
    The standard defines the functions and features to be provided in IEDs to support cybersecurity programs. Specifically, the standard states what safeguards, audit mechanisms, and alarm indications shall be provided by the vendor of the IED regarding the capabilities associated with access, operation, configuration, firmware revision, and data retrieval from an IED. The standard also allows the user to define a security program around these features tailored to the specific requirements of that… read more.

    Abstract
