Regulators play an indispensable role in achieving effective cybersecurity in the energy sector, and serve a key role in efforts by USAID and NARUC to improve electricity sector cybersecurity in Europe and Eurasia.
To provide needed support to regulators in Europe and Eurasia, USAID and NARUC developed the Black Sea Cybersecurity Strategy Development Guide, which helps regulators customize a strategy in alignment with international best practices.
A regulatory strategy is not the first thing people associate with cybersecurity. But, for regulators, utilities and others, it is a critical first step to the success of any cyber program.
With the support of USAID and NARUC, energy regulators in the Black Sea region are taking important steps forward to strengthen the cybersecurity and resilience of their energy sectors.
With the support of USAID and assistance from NARUC, utility regulators from the Black Sea convened with US and EU regulatory experts for a technical workshop on cybersecurity.
