Staying Watchful And Alert On America’s Electric Grid Security (From RealClearEnergy)

For the sake of national security and to ensure a vibrant economy, it remains essential for the federal government and the private sector to make significant investments to ensure robust cybersecurity protection. With continued vigilance, ongoing research, and rapid information sharing, America can keep the lights on and the attackers at bay.
