Good morning, everyone. The committee will come to order. I apologize. A little later start than i had hoped. Over the years, we have conducted a number of hearings designed to examine the vulnerabilities of our nations electric grid system. This congress we held hearings focused on cybersecurity, electromagnetic pulse at both the full and subcommittee levels. We will add to that by looking at advanced and emerging cyber technologies developed in our National Labs and private sectors. These are technological improvements and sometimes breakthroughs that could be used to protect the grid as well as other future sectors from future Cyber Attacks. I have mentioned outside the committee around the country, sometimes we get the sense that folks believe in this Immaculate Conception theory of energy, that it just happens. We all recognize, i think, there is a lot more to this than that. A related question is what happens what happens when the lights dont turn on . When you flip that switch a
Early in our work with cs21, now contents identified sticks to be the best format for data. New context has begun working with the community and the industry to extend sticks for the grid. Sticks is just the first step. We need the ability to share threats automatically between organizations. Several organizations have begun but we still rely on human analysts. If there was a coordinated attack on grid the analysts would not be able to respond. We need new technology to speed up response. Discovering and ensuring threat to machine is a huge step. The first hurdle in automated response is trust by third party. We need to ensure that theres trust in remediation. Once we have been able to solve the trust, utility, National Labs and agencies can distribute remediation into the grid allowing them to rapidly respond. In summary, identity, trusted data, isolated networks, response and remediation, technologies for defense. Battlefield continues to change. We need to protect find ways to prote
