gcpud15 Methodology A four (4) step process. Task 1: Assemble team of SMEs (Subject Mater Experts) to list electric assets by both physical and calculated means using power flow models and system simulations. Task 2: Eliminate non critical assets and list in ‘Null List’; remaining are Critical Electrical Assets. Task 3: Select Cyber Assets supporting Critical Electric Assets. Task 4: Determine Critical Cyber Assets. A four (4) step process.

gcpud18 RAM - T RAM-DSM was the first RAM developed at Sandia for critical infrastructures. Bonneville Power Administration commissioned Sandia National Laboratories to develop the Risk Assessment Methodology for Transmissions (RAM- TSM) based on RAM-DSM. RAM-TSM is a way to analyze the current security risks and systematically characterize and assess the security requirements of the nation's electrical transmission system facilities to deter, prevent, and mitigate malevolent attacks. The methodology and training has been made available to owners, operators, managers, and others responsible for transmitting electrical power.
