GCIP — GIAC Critical Infrastructure Protection
GIAC's critical infrastructure protection certification with a specific focus on NERC CIP compliance and electric sector security. Covers NERC CIP standards, electric utility security programs, and critical infrastructure protection frameworks. DoD 8140 approved. Most relevant for practitioners working in the electric utility sector where NERC CIP regulatory compliance is mandatory — a significant and well-funded part of the OT security market. Less applicable in manufacturing or oil-and-gas OT environments but essential in power generation, transmission, and distribution.
