The CEIS-SG ecosystem scope is defined at the CEIS-SG Manifest. In summary CEIS-SG aims to:
- Share information at pan-European level on threats, incidents, countermeasures and best practices.
- Support of risk-informed decision-making and the tools and mechanisms to facilitate it.
- Facilitate adaptive learning, in which experiences serve as opportunities to inform and adjust future actions.
- Coordinate CEI security preparedness planning and roadmap towards securing Critical Energy Infrastructures.
- Establish the basis for a minimum set of auditable controls for CEI Tiers across Europe
The CEIS-SG periodically reviews CEI threats and countermeasures and challenge risk management practices to confirm that established security controls remain in place
The CEIS-SG Security Roadmap aims to define a widely agreed path towards defending cyber-physical Critical Infrastructures in general, putting emphasis on CEI. The members of the DEFENDER consortium, with the collaboration and support from the CEIS-SG working group, contributed their expertise, ideas, and energy into this guiding framework. However, they strongly encourage every utility stakeholder owner, operator, researcher, vendor and policy maker to join forces and underpin the vision of a safer world. A common vision and a framework for achieving that vision are needed to guide the public-private partnerships that will secure energy delivery systems.
Membership in the pan-European Critical Energy Infrastructure Security Stakeholder Group is granted under permission of the European Commission and the CEIS-SG founding members. Each member may have a veto in the inclusion of an additional member under a justified reasoning.
The CEIS-SG ecosystem targets mass energy producers, asset owners, Energy Utilities and operators, Law Enforcement Agencies representatives, industrial and research partners, as well as the European Commission and Governmental officials and policy makers, who already place significant effort into fostering and maintaining trusted CEI. Voluntary participation and partnerships at local and European level will help facilitate the useful exchange of security-related information and maximize the effectiveness of infrastructure protection and resilience efforts. They will also promote the cooperation necessary to speed restoration and recovery with activities such as equipment and personnel sharing.
