Organizational Dysfunction costs a company $10,000,000 in sttlement with NERC for CIP violations

Woke up this morning and found this in my mailbox: "$10,000,000 Settlement Agreement for NERC CIP Violations" from the SANS ICS forums

The short story here is that the company appears to have had a completely dysfunctional security culture / organization  This dysfunction lead to a 127 separate violations of CIP standards in every area except Incident Reporting and Response.  Settlement cost the company $10,000,000. 

It was basically a shitshow (at least in my first reading of the report).  Anyway it's interesting reading if you work in security.

Report here
