About the Roadmap
Leaders from the energy sector and
the government have recognized the need to plan, coordinate,
and focus ongoing efforts to improve control system security.
These leaders concur that an actionable path forward is required
to address critical needs and gaps and to prepare the sector
for a secure future. Their commitment helped to launch a public-private
collaboration to develop a Roadmap
to Secure Control Systems in the Energy Sector. The Roadmap
focuses on the goals and priorities for improving the security
of control systems in the electric, oil, and natural gas sectors
over the next decade.
A distinctive feature of this collaboration is the active
involvement and leadership of energy asset owners and operators
in guiding both the scope and content of the Roadmap. The
roadmapping effort was designed and directed by a 17-member
steering group composed of asset owners and operators (electricity,
oil, and gas), industry associations, government agencies
from the United States and Canada, and national laboratories
. The Roadmap content is based on expert input
collected during a two-day workshop and subsequent reviews
of results. The Roadmap project was funded
by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity
Delivery and Energy Reliability in collaboration with the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology
Directorate - Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects
Agency and Natural Resources Canada.
