    "excerpt": "New cybersecurity standards enhance safety for solar inverters and energy technologies.\n\nKey points.\n\n* UL Solutions has launched a new cybersecurity certification program for distributed energy resources.\n* The program establishes a baseline for cybersecurity in inverter-based devices like microgrids and hydrogen systems.\n* It aims to enhance grid reliability and public confidence by embedding security from the start.\n* The certification is based on the UL 2941 standard, supporting technical controls and policy areas.\n\nUL Solutions has made a significant stride in enhancing cybersecurity for distributed energy resources (DER) by launching a new certification program that establishes the first industry-wide cybersecurity baseline specifically for inverter-based devices, including solar inverters, microgrids, batteries, and hydrogen systems. This initiative responds to the growing need for improved cybersecurity measures in the face of evolving energy technologies that introduce both flexibility and increased cyber risks to the electric grid. Traditional devices were not designed to meet modern cybersecurity required standards, making this development crucial for the future of energy technology. Ken Boyce from UL Solutions emphasized the importance of this program in creating clarity and common expectations for mitigating cyber risks associated with these systems. He stated...",
