The U.S. Department of Energy has released what it said is a national strategy to enhance engineering training, tools, and practices to build resilient clean energy systems designed to withstand cyber threats.
The National Cyber-Informed Engineering (CIE) Strategy, directed by Congress, encourages the incorporation of cybersecurity technology early in the design lifecycle of engineered systems to reduce cyber risks and vulnerabilities including threats by foreign actors.
The strategy is organized into what DOE said are five pillars — Awareness, Education, Development, Current Infrastructure, and Future Infrastructure — and aims to reduce or eliminate cyber vulnerabilities by engineering them out.
