In recent years, cyber hackers have waged attacks on organizations ranging from Sony Entertainment to the U.S. government. University researchers will investigate another area of cyber vulnerability—the nation’s energy infrastructure.
The University was selected to be a part of the Cyber Resilient Energy Delivery Consortium (CREDC) to help in the quest to develop better energy delivery protection systems. The University was awarded $28.1 million from the Department of Energy to be used for the five-year initiative.
