This Roadmap to Achieve Energy Delivery Systems Cybersecurity provides a plan to improve the cybersecurity of the energy sector. The strategic framework within presents the vision of industry, vendors, academia, and government stakeholders for energy delivery systems security, supported by goals and time-based milestones to achieve that vision over the next decade. It marks a continued effort by public and private stakeholders to identify steps to build, deploy, and manage resilient energy delivery systems for the electric, oil, and natural gas industries.
The roadmap is an update of the 2006 Roadmap to Secure Control Systems in the Energy Sector, representing the sector’s ongoing commitment to security. North America’s water, transportation, communication, and other critical infrastructures increasingly depend on the reliable operation of the energy sector, making it an attractive target for evolving, sophisticated cyber adversaries. As cyber threats are fast moving, multifaceted, well resourced, and persistent, we need to ramp up efforts to effectively prepare and respond to them.
