Securing Distributed Energy Resources

Securing Distributed Energy Resources

In a recent press release, we announced that Spherical | Analytics (S|A) had been chosen to participate in a use case consortium sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE). This opportunity places us in a position to put our technology at the forefront of collaborating on cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure.

The Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) focuses on securing information exchanges among IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) controllers from distributed energy resources (DERs) in their operating environments. These operating environments can be some of the most challenging from a physical and digital architecture standpoint and are persistently confronted with myriad cyber and climate risk challenges.

Data Provenance Part 1: Asset Grade Data

Data Provenance Part 1: Asset Grade Data

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.
