The Physical Security Workshop is an in-person event hosted by ReliabilityFirst in Cleveland, OH. In the classroom session, participants will learn about physical security concepts and technologies, Design Basis Threat, threat and vulnerability assessments, CIP-006, CIP-014, and other topics. The lab session of the training focuses entirely on practical application of VISA, and will include a site visit (i.e., substation walk down). Attendance for this workshop will be limited to 35 participants. The substation walk down, which is part of the lab, requires personal protective equipment.
