Often the most powerful and successful efforts start with a few people coming together to solve a problem. In the past 5 years a number of “compliance communities” have sprung up across North America. Panelists give their individual takes on how they are using these communities to keep up on current industry-specific security regulatory developments and how they are sharing this information with the forums they represent. The panel will discuss the challenges of providing relevant information to their constituencies, communication strategies, community-driven solutions and the power of group dynamics as it relates to addressing security regulation as well as their thoughts on the importance of participating in community-based programs.

CIP V5 industry sticking points, and how the industry

• Currently working through the most recent draft of CIP
Version 5 requirements.
