CEA Compliance for India’s Power Sector
The CEA Compliance & Cyber Resilience webinar addresses the regulatory and technical challenges facing organisations subject to India’s Central Electricity Authority Cyber Security Guidelines. Hosted by Nozomi Networks with participation from TÜV SÜD, the session examines the CEA framework in detail and provides practical approaches to meeting compliance obligations while strengthening overall security posture.
India’s power sector operates critical infrastructure that requires robust protection against cyber threats. The CEA guidelines establish specific requirements for organisations in this space, creating both compliance obligations and opportunities to improve resilience. This webinar connects regulatory requirements to practical implementation strategies.
OT and IoT Security Considerations
Operational technology environments in the power sector present distinct cybersecurity challenges compared to traditional IT systems. The webinar covers OT visibility, which enables organisations to understand what assets exist within their operational networks and how they communicate. Without this foundational visibility, identifying vulnerabilities and detecting threats becomes significantly more difficult.
IoT devices add further complexity to power sector networks. The session addresses how these connected devices factor into CEA compliance requirements and what controls organisations should consider implementing. Risk management approaches specific to OT and IoT environments form a core part of the discussion.
Compliance Challenges and Risk Management
Meeting regulatory requirements in critical infrastructure environments involves navigating technical, operational and organisational obstacles. The webinar examines common compliance challenges that power sector organisations encounter when implementing CEA guidelines and discusses approaches to address them.
Threat detection capabilities receive particular attention, as identifying malicious activity within OT networks requires different techniques than those used in enterprise IT environments. The session explores how compliance efforts can be leveraged to build detection and response capabilities that serve both regulatory and security objectives.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is relevant for cybersecurity professionals working in India’s power and energy industry, particularly those responsible for CEA compliance. Compliance officers, regulatory affairs personnel and OT/IT managers will find the content applicable to their roles. Senior managers and executives with responsibility for critical infrastructure security may benefit from the strategic perspective on aligning compliance with resilience objectives.
