Technologies
Category ID : 1382
Summary
Weaknesses in this category are related to the "Emerging Energy Technologies" category from
the SEI ETF "Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS" as published in March 2022: "With the
rapid evolution of the energy system accelerated by the emergence of new technologies such as
DERs, electric vehicles, advanced communications (5G+), novel and diverse challenges arise for
secure and resilient operation of the system." Note: members of this category include "Nearest
IT Neighbor" recommendations from the report, as well as suggestions by the CWE team. These
relationships are likely to change in future CWE versions.

Relationship
Relationships in this category are not authoritative and subject to change. See Maintenance
notes.
Maintenance
This category might be subject to CWE Scope Exclusion SCOPE.SITUATIONS (Focus on
situations in which weaknesses may appear).
Maintenance
This category was created in CWE 4.7 to facilitate and illuminate discussion about weaknesses
in ICS with [REF-1248] as a starting point. After the release of CWE 4.9 in October 2022, this
has been under active review by members of the "Boosting CWE" subgroup of the CWE-CAPEC
ICS/OT Special Interest Group (SIG). Subgroup members did not find any CWEs to add to this
category in CWE 4.11. There may be some gaps with respect to CWE's current scope, which will
require consultation with many CWE stakeholders to resolve.
