With the United States having faced serious warnings and threats of cyberattacks to its electric grid over the past five years, there might be a tendency to think all is well given that a major attack has not created havoc.

With continued vigilance, ongoing research, and rapid information sharing, America can keep the lights on and the attackers at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
