Bipartisan Policy Center, Cybersecurity and the North American Electric Grid: New Policy Approaches to Address an Evolving Threat (Feb. 28, 2014) (full-text).
Overview[]
This initiative identifies urgent priorities, including strengthening existing protections, enhancing coordination at all levels, and accelerating the development of robust protocols for response and recovery in the event of a successful cyberattack. The initiative developed recommendations in four policy areas: standards and best practices, information sharing, response to a cyberattack, and paying for cybersecurity. The recommendations are targeted to Congress, federal government agencies, state public utility commissions (PUCs), and industry.
