As part of the Obama Administration’s commitment to protecting America’s energy critical infrastructure, the Energy Department (DOE) has invested more than US$34 million for two projects that will improve the protection of the US electric grid and oil and natural gas infrastructure from cyber threats.
The University of Arkansas and the University of Illinois will assemble teams with expertise in power systems engineering and the computer science of cyber-security to develop new technologies that will help protect energy delivery systems which control the physical processes that result in the delivery of continuous and reliable power.
