2020 Supply Chain Compromise Update

The E-ISAC is actively monitoring the developments related to the 2020 Supply Chain Compromise and its impact to the electricity industry. We are collaborating with our members and partners to provide updated guidance and electricity-specific context, as well as a platform for collaboration. At this time, all of our technology systems remain operational and secure, but given the nature of the threat, we continue to monitor our network traffic using indicators provided by the U.S. government.

We are fully engaged in the industry’s response and are actively collaborating with our partners at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Energy (DOE), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and other resources, as well as the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC).

The E-ISAC continues to distribute and curate information for our members and partners, including highlighting key resources to assist in investigation, response, and mitigation. Some current key sources from trusted partners include:

The E-ISAC encourages members and partners to actively share information regarding threats and other malicious activities with the E-ISAC so we can communicate this information broadly with other sector participants and government partners to maintain situational awareness, as well as timely, actionable information sharing.

Mission: The E-ISAC reduces cyber and physical security risk to the electricity industry across North America by providing unique insights, leadership, and collaboration.

Vision: To be a world-class, trusted source of quality analysis and rapid sharing of security information for the electricity industry.
