What is the focus of Requirement R1.1 in CIP-002?

Requirement R1.1 in CIP-002 focuses on the identification of high impact Bulk Electric System (BES) Cyber Systems. This requirement emphasizes the need for entities to pinpoint and categorize the cyber assets that are deemed high impact due to their critical role within the reliable operation of the Bulk Electric System. Identifying these systems is essential because they are foundational to ensuring that security measures and protocols are appropriately applied to protect the most vital components of the infrastructure.

By establishing which systems are classified as high impact, organizations can prioritize their cybersecurity efforts and allocate resources more effectively, ultimately enhancing the resilience and security of their systems. This requirement is part of a broader effort under the CIP standards to systematically protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats and other vulnerabilities. The other options do not directly relate to this specific focus on identification of high impact systems within the CIP-002 framework.
