The nation’s power grid is a little safer today, thanks to the Idaho National Laboratory.
INL is part of a team that won the 2011 U.S. National Cybersecurity Innovation Award for building cybersecurity skills needed to defend the power grid and other control systems. The team included the Controls Systems Security Program at Department of Homeland Security.
Together, they created a series of training programs for managerial and technical people in the critical infrastructure sector that are packed with up-to-date information on cyber threats and mitigations for vulnerabilities.
The training is useful across key infrastructure industries such as power, oil and gas, electrical, water, and others.
