In fiscal year 2022, the Department of Energy’s research programs will prioritize cybersecurity, according to Secretary Jennifer Granholm
Responding to suggestions in a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing that DOE was not paying sufficient attention to cybersecurity in the way of high-profile attacks, Granholm stressed that DOE and its industry partners “are totally focused on it.”
In the hearing, Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho), the subcommittee's ranking member, said the DOE's budget overview lacked any mention of cybersecurity.
"I was concerned to see not a single mention of cybersecurity in the DOE's budget overview," he said. "Cyber threats like these are persistent and increasing. As our world becomes more reliant on Internet-connected capabilities and technologies, we know that the cybersecurity challenge in front of us will increase in scope."
