There has been much discussion about where NERC CIP is going from the current CIP Version 3 - whether to Version 4 or Version 5. But NERC Registered Entities need to keep two very important facts in mind:

1. NERC CIP Version 4 has been approved by FERC. Version 5's approval is still very uncertain, and is unlikely to occur for more than a year.
2. NERC entities need to be fully compliant with CIP-002-4 through CIP-009-4 on April 1, 2014. Those who haven't started their Version 4 effort need to start now; time is running out.

In this webinar, EnergySec and Honeywell will discuss why you need to take CIP Version 4 seriously, and what steps you should take now and going forward to prepare for Version 4.
