Cyber Attacks on Energy Infrastructure on the Rise
The number of successful cyber-criminal attacks has been increasing in scale and impact. The recent attack on Colonial Pipeline that disrupted pipelines carrying 45 percent of diesel, jet fuel and gasoline capacity for the East Coast, is just the latest example. Exelon has sophisticated anti-malware tools in place to detect and prevent similar attacks; however, cyber threats are constantly evolving, and you are our first line of defense. Just clicking on the wrong link in a phishing email can introduce a damaging virus into the Exelon network. Do always be on guard and report any suspicious emails to CISS with the “Report Phishing” button. Don’t click on any suspicious links or attachments!
Corporate & Information Security Services (CISS) recently held an engaging webinar to highlight the cyber and physical threat landscape. Do watch the recording to discover what Exelon is doing to mitigate the risk and what YOU can do to help keep Exelon secure.

Reminder: New Vendor Requirements Take Effect This Week
Do know that our new and existing vendors must comply with Exelon’s enhanced due- diligence policies, procedures and practices to determine whether any affiliations exist between vendors and public officials. Starting May 21, both existing and new vendors must have completed a Vendor Affiliation Questionnaire (VAQ) to be awarded new business with Exelon.
This VAQ requirement is integrated into the enhanced Vendor Maintenance Form, which is used to add/update/remove vendors. Ensure the vendors you work with meet the new requirements. Do visit the Vendor Compliance Resource page to learn more about the policy changes, upcoming vendor compliance deadlines and additional informational resources.
