India’s Central Electricity Authority has proposed the 2024 Cyber Security in Power Sector Regulations to strengthen the resilience of the electricity ecosystem by creating a sectoral CSIRT-Power, mandating CISOs and alternate CISOs, requiring Cyber Crisis Management Plans, implementing security controls (firewalls, IDS/IPS), ensuring 24/7 Information Security Division operations, conducting regular audits and training, and instituting a Trusted Vendor System; the draft is open for public feedback until September 10, 2024, and is set to take effect six months after official publication, with some provisions possibly commencing earlier.
