BES Cyber Asset definition

BES Cyber Asset means a Cyber Asset that if rendered unavailable, degraded, or misused would, within 15 minutes of its required operation, misoperation, or non‐operation, adversely impact one or more Facilities, systems, or equipment, which, if destroyed, degraded, or otherwise rendered unavailable when needed, would affect the reliable operation of the Bulk Electric System. Redundancy of affected Facilities, systems, and equipment shall not be considered when determining adverse impact. Each BES Cyber Asset is included in one or more BES Cyber Systems.**

BES Cyber Asset means a Cyber Asset that if rendered unavailable, degraded, or misused would, within fifteen (15) minutes of its required operation, misoperation, or non-operation, adversely impact one or more Facilities, systems, or equipment, which, if destroyed, degraded, or otherwise rendered unavailable when needed, would affect the reliable operation of the Bulk Electric System. Redundancy of affected Facilities, systems, and equipment shall not be considered when determining adverse impact. Each BES Cyber Asset is included in one or more BES Cyber Systems.

BES Cyber Asset shall each have the meaning set forth in the Glossary of Terms Used in NERC Reliability Standards. For purposes of this provision, “Removeable Media” includes, but is not limited to, floppy disks, compact disks, USB flash drives, external hard drives, and other flash memory cards/drives that contain non-volatile memory.

Examples of BES Cyber Asset in a sentence

• Each BES Cyber Asset is included in one or more BES Cyber Systems.

• The definition of BES Cyber Asset provides the basis for this scoping.Real-time OperationsOne characteristic of the BES Cyber Asset is a real-time scoping characteristic.

• A BES Cyber Asset includes in its definition, “…that if rendered unavailable, degraded, or misused would, within 15 minutes adversely impact the reliable operation of the BES.” The following provides guidance that a Responsible Entity may use to identify the BES Cyber Systems that would be in scope.

• Since the PMU or PDC is not used for autonomous control, nor is it used by power system operators to make real-time decisions, the PMU or PDC does not meet the threshold in the definition of a BES Cyber Asset, and is therefore not categorized as a BES Cyber Asset.

• It therefore meets the threshold to be designated as a BES Cyber Asset.

• In the BD-CATS-IO kernel, we have read the HDF5 files written by the VPIC-IO kernel.

• The approach of defining a plan allows the Responsible Entity to document the processes that are supportable within its organization and in alignment with its change management processes.Transient Cyber Assets and Removable Media are those devices connected temporarily to: (1) a BES Cyber Asset, (2) a network within an ESP, or (3) a Protected Cyber Asset.

• As discussed below, the adoption of the Low Impact BES Cyber Asset category will expand the protections offered by the CIP version 5 Standards to additional assets that could cause cyber security risks to the bulk electric system.

• If I want my child to eat anything other than what is provided by AGAPE KINGDOM CARE, I must provide it for my child.

• The NOPR identified issues with the proposed definitions of BES Cyber Asset, Control Center, and Cyber Asset and use of the terms Reliability Tasks and Intermediate Devices in the proposed definitions.
