Michael Ball, senior vice president and chief security officer at Berkshire Hathaway Energy, will replace Manny Cancel as CEO of the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center.

Staff from NERC and the E-ISAC called the recent CrowdStrike outage a useful preview for potential future cyberattacks.

Manny Cancel has been with NERC since 2020, while Stan Hoptroff has served since 2014. Both will leave in early 2025, the ERO said.

NERC CEO Jim Robb and E-ISAC CEO Manny Cancel shared their views on the electric reliability landscape in a media call.
