ERCOT, PRPA, U.I. purchase web-based training for cybersecurity

Hamden, CT, May 19, 2009 — Regional Entity ERCOT (Texas), and Registered Entities The United Illuminating Company (Connecticut) and Platte River Power Authority (Colorado) are the most recent organizations to purchase Quizzicle’s NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) web-based training courses.

Quizzicle, the leader in web-based regulatory training, released a suite of 10 Web-based training courses on government mandated Critical Infrastructure Protection Standards in the first quarter of 2009. Recently added: a Safety Awareness For Entities (SAFE) course and a quarterly Awareness Poster Program that provides background on FERC, NERC, the NERC Standards BAL through VAR.

With the NERC CIP compliance date approaching, entities search for the best training solution to quickly and competently meet regulatory requirements. Quizzicle’s CIP training courses are built to be customized for individual company content and questions, thus becoming a comprehensive training solution. Courses can be hosted independently by organizations or with Quizzicle’s Learning Management System to report compliance with time-stamped confidence.

As Homeland Security considers additional regulatory enforcement measures, the need to educate employees, contractors and vendors on NERC regulations is imperative. Quizzicle’s customizable training solution creates a sound program to meet compliance in training and awareness for scheduled 2009 audits.

Peter Sorenson, President of Quizzicle, says, “It has been our goal to provide a training solution that is affordable for organizations of all sizes. As compliance deadlines near with fines reaching $1 million per day, it is particularly valuable to have a quality solution to meet compliance measures quickly. Companies realize PowerPoint presentations are ineffective educational tools for meeting audit expectations. Our courses are excellent training devices, built for learner comprehension.”
