The Physical Security Workshop is an in-person event hosted by TVA in Chattanooga, TN. The workshop is split into two separate sessions. The “classroom” session runs from 8:30 a.m. December 12 through noon on December 13. In this session, participants will learn about physical security concepts and technologies, Design Basis Threat, threat and vulnerability assessments, CIP-006, CIP-014, and other topics. Attendance for this portion of the course will be limited to 50 participants. The “lab” session of the training (December 13-14) focuses entirely on practical application of VISA, and will include a site visit. Attendance for this session will be limited to 30 participants. Attendance at the workshop is a prerequisite to attending the lab. For attendees who have the NERC Certified System Operators (NCSO) credential, NERC has approved the classroom portion of the workshop for 10 continuing education hours (CEHs) and the lab portion of the workshop for 5 CEHs.
