Question:
Greetings CQD,
Does the NEC contain any requirements that address cyber security?
Thanks for any insight you may provide.

Answer:
Hello Pat, Good question. The current editions do not contain rules that address cyber security. The 2023 NEC which is still in the final stages of the development process does contain new general awareness information about cyber security in Section 110.3(A)(8). visit www.nfpa.org and select Codes and Standards and then select NFPA 70 for more information and to view the proposed revisions for the 2023 edition. IEC 62443, UL 2900, and UL 5500 are referenced from the new informational note no. 3 in this section. Hope this is useful.
