The White House on Tuesday announced the first pilot program to improve the cybersecurity of the nation's electricity infrastructure as part of a broader initiative focused on industrial control systems. "The 100-day plan includes aggressive but achievable milestones and will assist owners and operators as they modernize cybersecurity defenses, including enhancing detection, mitigation and forensic capabilities," according to an April 20 statement from Emily Horne, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council. The pilot is being managed by the Department of Energy and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technology, has previously discussed the public-private partnership effort which is being launched around the same time the administration is expected to publish a wide-ranging executive order also focused on cybersecurity.
