Choose between three specialized tracks:

• WECC Foundations: Explore reliability culture, internal controls, quality evidence and interviews, what to expect in monitoring activities and an introduction to enforcement fundamentals.
• Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP): Dive into CIP-focused topics including Reliability Standards CIP-002, CIP-003, CIP-008, and CIP-014, as well as, insider threats, analyzing network activity and risk management for third-party cloud services.
