Palo Alto, CA: Electric Power Research Institute, 2013. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. 20 pages, including covers. Illustrations (most in color). Format is approximately 11 inches by 8.5 inches. The Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. or EPRI, is an American independent, nonprofit organization that conducts research and development related to the generation, delivery, and use of electricity. In November 1965, the Great Northeastern Blackout left 30 million people in the United States without electricity. It demonstrated the nation's dependence upon electricity and vulnerability to its loss. It triggered the creation of the Electric Power Research Institute. In 1972, at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, Dr. Chauncey Starr presented his vision for the Electric Power Research Institute in serving its mandate for objective, scientific research. Chauncey Starr (1912-2007) helped pioneer commercial nuclear power, created the interdisciplinary field of risk assessment, and invented EPRI. Starr formally retired at age 65, but continued to work at EPRI for the next 30 years. The Electric Power Research Institute’s (EPRI’s) Cyber Security and Privacy Program addresses the emerging threats to an interconnected electric system through collaborative research on cyber security technology, standards, and business processes to protect the electric grid. Ongoing program activities include: •Continuous mapping of international industry, government, and regulatory activities in the cyber security and privacy landscape •Security solutions and implementation guidance for legacy systems • Security management and protection technology for transmission and distribution systems •Incident management for power delivery systems •Methodologies for assessing and monitoring risk •Metrics to support the risk assessment activities •Improving procurement methodologies and language to support cyber security. Condition: Very good.
