IT Director Jim Boyle efforts to strengthen cybersecurity and protect critical utility operations.
Braintree Electric Light Department is proud to announce that it has earned the Gold designation through the American Public Power Association’s (APPA) Cybersecurity Accelerator Program, recognizing its commitment to protecting the critical systems that support safe and reliable electric service.
Leading these efforts is Jim Boyle, BELD’s Director of Information Technology, whose leadership and the dedication of the IT team play a vital role in keeping BELD’s technology and operations secure.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, protecting electric utility systems requires constant attention, strong security practices, and ongoing preparation. APPA’s Cybersecurity Accelerator Program recognizes public power utilities for implementing important cybersecurity measures and strengthening their ability to identify and respond to potential threats.
While much of this work happens behind the scenes, it is essential to protecting the systems BELD relies on to serve approximately 16,000 customers throughout Braintree.
Congratulations to Jim Boyle and the entire IT team on this well-deserved recognition and their continued dedication to keeping BELD’s systems secure and our community powered!
