S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Basel II recommends "three pillars"—risk appraisal and control, supervision of assets, and monitoring of financial markets—to bring stability to the financial system and other critical industries. Basel II implementation involves identifying operational risk, then allocating adequate capital to cover potential loss. As a response to corporate scandals in the last decade, SOX came into force in 2002 and contains the following sections: The financial statement published by issuers is required to be accurate (Sec 401) Issuers are required to publish information in their annual reports (Sec 404) Issuers are required to disclose to the public, on an urgent basis, information on material changes in their financial condition or operations (Sec 409) Penalties of fines and/or imprisonment are imposed for not complying (Sec 802) The purpose of the NFPA 1600 Standard is to help the disaster management, emergency management, and business continuity communities to cope with critical events.
Research shows that cyber threats are forming and are searching for ways to remotely disrupt operations. 1 INTRODUCTION 27 with automated message traffic, causing bandwidth overload, the effects of which could approach the magnitude of a weapon of mass destruction. Analyses of the vulnerabilities of other critical infrastructure sectors have reached similar conclusions: The loss of electric power quickly brings down communications and financial networks; cripples the movement of oil, gas, water, and traffic; and paralyzes emergency response services.
The reliability assurance testing should be performed after the vendor has provided preventive maintenance (PM). The reason we perform these tests after the vendor preventive maintenance routine is that the vendor will have interacted with a commissioned system and disassembled some portions. In some cases, they provide updated software or control boards. The system now needs to be certified through reliability assurance testing to be worthy of critical load. Remember that the vendor-provided PM does not measure performance or track system degradation, so without a reliability assurance testing program the quality control process will have been compromised.
