THE National Grid Corporation of the Philippines announced it immediately conducted a sweep scan of its network after a Deloitte-India employee was reportedly tagged as the mastermind of a computer hacking group.
It can be recalled that the ERC has tapped the services of a third party to conduct the VAPT activities on NGCP’s OT network. Deloitte-Philippines, which then engaged the services of Deloitte-India, was the third party chosen by the ERC to conduct an audit on NGCP. Almeda said it is alarming that the firm was tasked by the ERC to conduct audit activities and given access to the grid operator’s systems is implicated in computer hacking activities.
“In engaging Deloitte-Philippines, and the counterpart in India, for the VAPT activities, their integrity and credibility were vetted by the ERC,” added Almeda. “We cannot overemphasize the importance of our OT network to transmission grid operations. We had hoped that all decisions and activities in relation to the cyber security audit currently being undertaken were done with a special view to this critically.
