Cybersecurity Considerations for Distributed Energy Resources on the U.S. Electric Grid

October 26, 2022

Cybersecurity Considerations for Distributed Energy
To address the impacts of climate change, the U.S. electric grid will be undergoing significant changes by integrating clean energy resources such as solar and wind. These efforts will be accelerated with the recent passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act1 and the Inflation Reduction Act.

Hacking today’s enterprise computer applications is a lot like playing lotto where the numbers are known in advance. No matter how sophisticated an organization’s cyberdefenses, if its valuable systems are static and unchanging, hackers will ultimately “figure out the winning numbers” to breach them and take the jackpot.Most hackers know exactly which numbers to play. For example, “zero-day” exploits that are readily available on the dark web can breach most application and system technologies with impunity, because no antivirus software signatures are yet available to defeat them. And advanced persistent threats, in which malware and backdoors can lurk undetected for months inside enterprise systems, wreak havoc and steal data with little chance of being spotted.

Leading Cybersecurity in Higher Education

whitePaper | February 11, 2023

Higher-education institutions are experiencing a high volume of cyberattacks and greater vulnerability to threats. Today’s educational technology environments connect a variety of endpoints—laptops, desktops, student management data, and email servers. They use Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices for managing environmental controls, security cameras, and door alarms. Both ends of the education spectrum gather, store, and use personal data from students and staff—and if they collect it, they must also protect it. As a result, schools need dedicated, skilled, and experienced executive leadership that is empowered, resourced, and responsible for campuswide cybersecurity issues.
