FERC and NERC White Paper on Supply Chain Vendor Identification

The purpose of this white paper is to help the electric sector identify vendors of components on their networks so that they can take any necessary action to mitigate potential risks to the bulk power system. Specifically, this white paper identifies several noninvasive techniques that security professionals may use to identify vendors of a well-known and often-targeted component known as a network interface controller (NIC).
