  • San Diego, CA (1888PressRelease) November 08, 2011 - In response to growing demand from the energy sector for more efficient NERC/CIP programs and a single source security team that understands the energy market, Critical Assets, the world's leading provider of security and compliance services, announced today that Jeff Mills, the former chief energy security strategist for Coalfire Systems, has joined the company as Director, Energy Security Services.

    "I've spent the last 4 years head down on critical infrastructure projects in Energy," said Mills. "From a regulatory perspective, the federal government is asking energy providers to comply with NERC/CIP, but they realize that it's not just about compliance. Securing the smart grid is the real challenge. We have the experience with operational technology to make the transition less painful for owner / operators."
