INSM permits entities to monitor traffic within a trusted zone, such as the Electronic Security Perimeter, to detect intrusions or malicious activity. Specifically, Order No. 887 directs NERC to develop Reliability Standard (s)  \nrequirement (s) for any new or modified CIP Reliability Standards that address three security issues.  \n1 See Applicability Section of Revised CIP Standards and Definitions for additional information on Distribution Providers subject to the standards.  \n2 Internal Network Security Monitoring for High and Medium Impact Bulk Electric System Cyber Systems, Order No. 887, 182 FERC ¶ 61,021 (2023) .  \n2 Id. P 5. (Order No. 887 provides that any new or modified CIP Reliability Standards should: (1) address the need for responsible entities to develop baselines of their network traffic inside their CIP-networked environment; (2) address the need for responsible entities to monitor for and detect unauthorized activity, connections, devices, and software inside the CIP-networked environment) and (3) require responsible entities to identify anomalous activity to a high level of confidence by logging network traffic, maintaining logs and other data collected regarding network traffic, and implementing measures to minimize the likelihood of an attacker removing evidence of their tactics, techniques, and procedures from compromised devices) .  \nIn Order No. 887, FERC directs NERC to submit these revisions for approval within 15 months of the final rule’s effective date, i.e., July 9, 2024.  \nOrder No. 887 also directed NERC to conduct a study on the risks of lack of INSM for medium impact BES Cyber Systems without ERC, and all low-impact BES Cyber Systems, and on the challenges and solutions for implementing INSM for those BES Cyber Systems. NERC has completed this study, and it was filed with FERC on January 18, 2024.  \nGeneral Considerations  \nThis implementation plan reflects consideration that entities will need time to develop and implement Requirements R1, R2, and R3 . In order to achieve the objectives of the requirements, all affected Responsible Entities may need to: (1) procure sensors to facilitate the gathering of network data for applicable networks, taking into consideration the availability of products and services by a relatively small vendor marketplace and supply chain challenges; (2) make modifications to networks to better align with the standard; (3) deploy technical solutions to gather network information, which could require outages of operational facilities, which can be challenging to schedule; and (4) implement capabilities to ingest large amounts of network information and perform the necessary analysis. This phased implementation plan is intended to provide additional time to fully comply with Reliability Standard CIP-015-1, prioritizing that the most critical networks, such as Control Centers, are addressed first.  \nEffective Date and Phased-In Compliance Dates  \nThe effective dates for the proposed Reliability Standard are provided below.
