NERC CIP Version 5 expands requirements to address privileged accounts and remote access in protecting North America’s power grid. Privileged accounts are prime targets in cyberattacks, making their security critical for compliance and resilience. CyberArk Privileged Access Management solutions help utilities meet these requirements by centralizing credential storage, automating password rotation, enforcing strong authentication, and isolating sessions to prevent malware transfer. They enable MFA for remote access, ensure accountability for shared accounts, and provide tamper-proof audit logs. Automated revocation of access upon termination and anomaly detection further strengthen compliance and defense, reducing risks of costly breaches.
