Roadmap for Distributed Energy Resource Cyber Security
The Roadmap for Distributed Energy Resource Cyber Security presents a strategic plan for enhancing cybersecurity across the DER ecosystem. Developed by researchers and industry stakeholders, the roadmap identifies key risks associated with DER integration, outlines technical and organizational best practices, and recommends actions for policymakers, standards bodies, vendors, and operators. Topics covered include secure communications protocols, device authentication, vulnerability management, workforce training, and incident response. The roadmap serves as a reference for coordinating efforts to secure distributed energy resources and ensure grid reliability.
