The US is at an ever growing risk of a cyber attacks, with energy infrastructure likely to be hackers’ prime target.
This was the stark warning made by General Keith Alexander, the retired general and former chief of the National Security Agency, earlier this year.
Now, the Pentagon says it has a plan to do something about the threat.
Its research division, Darpa, has launched a new program to target security threats that have the potential to wipe out all of America’s power systems.
Initially, however, it will focus on infrastructure that is vital to the Department of Defense’s missions.
Dubbed Rapid Attack Detection, Isolation and Characterization (RADICS), its goal is to develop automated systems to deal with a loss of power.
They say these systems should help utilities engineers restore power within seven days of an attack.
