Citation
Bipartisan Policy Center, Cybersecurity and the North American Electric Grid: New Policy Approaches to Address an Evolving Threat (Feb. 28, 2014).

Overview
This initiative identifies urgent priorities, including strengthening existing protections, enhancing coordination at all levels, and accelerating the development of robust protocols for response and recovery in the event of a successful cyberattack. The initiative developed recommendations in four policy areas: standards and best practices, information sharing, response to a cyberattack, and paying for cybersecurity. The recommendations are targeted to Congress, federal government agencies, state public utility commissions (PUCs), and industry.
