Location: Installation and Operations Theater, Booth #D29101, Hall D, ACC
Solar power plant operators and owners are increasingly deploying digital automation on their operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) systems and networks. Without a method to assess the maturity of their resilience programs, solar power entities may not be able to meet their goals for a timely recovery from major cyber or physical events.This session will demonstrate the Sol-ReMM tool that allows solar power decision makers and subject matter experts (SMEs) to quickly (within only a day or two) self-evaluate the programmatic maturity of their resilience program. Sol-ReMM allows users to identify areas of strength and weakness in their resilience program, spot gaps between actual performance and management expectations, encourage cost-effective enhancements for existing resilience programs, and monitor progress toward achieving programmatic resilience goals. Sol-ReMM discourages a stove-piped approach for resilience and support a balanced program that integrates and addresses cyber, physical, and natural events.
