Spherical Analytics (SA) is working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) in their Securing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) project to develop practical, interoperable cybersecurity approaches that address real-world needs of distributed energy resource (DER) environments. By accelerating dissemination and use of these integrated tools and technologies for protecting IIoT in and among DERs, the NCCoE will enhance trust in U.S. information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) communications, data, and storage systems; reduce risk for companies and individuals using IT/OT systems; and encourage development of innovative, job-creating cybersecurity products and services.

Trust in data is clearly a major problem to be solved, and our aim is to allow the world to have trusted data, enabling better and faster decision-making. The Context Labs Immutably™ platform underlies trust in supply chains, by being an integrative data fabric to build what we call Asset Grade Data (AGD).
Alternative data represents information captured from any part of an organization, outside of traditional reporting metrics, that has implications for stakeholder decision making. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data are some of the most frequently cited forms of alternative data. Prominent organizations and investors race to meet the demands of increasing global pressure to prove the sustainability of their operations. Yet, they all continue to struggle with ESG data standardization, asset sourcing, and a noisy marketplace. With hundreds of data insights highlighting any number of different metrics and frameworks, investors can be left guessing as to which ESG-related questions they need to answer, what data insights provide them with the best answers, and where to source all of this data.[1] With so much uncertainty in an already ill-defined space, investors must know they can trust data to support decision making.
