The electric utility industry (including public power utilities) takes very seriously its responsibility to maintain a strong electric grid. It is the only critical infrastructure sector besides nuclear power that has mandatory and enforceable federal regulatory standards in place for cyber and physical security (collectively known as grid security).

As the grid evolves, unfortunately, so do threats to its integrity. The threat of cyber-attacks is relatively new compared to long-known physical threats, but a cyberattack with operational consequences could occur and cause disrup­tions in the flow of power if malicious actors were able to hack into data systems used in some electric generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure.
