To achieve

Increase the overall cyber resilience of the grid by addressing critical cyber vulnerabilities prior to adversary exploitation through a multi-faceted approach that includes applying classified threat intelligence, illuminating systemic cyber supply chain risks, cyber vulnerability testing and forensic analyses, and engineering out cyber risks – all in close partnership with asset owners and manufacturers across the Energy Sector Industrial Base.

By September 30, 2022, analyze no less than 10% of critical components in energy sector systems; and expand manufacturers participating in the voluntary Energy Cyber Sense program to cover no less than 15% of the market share of critical components.

Drive down overall cycle time for critical vulnerability discovery to mitigation to notification of impacted asset owners by at least 10%, compared to a 2021 baseline.

By September 30, 2023, analyze no less than 15% of critical components in energy sector systems; and expand manufacturers participating in the program to cover no less than 30% of the market share of critical components.
