“Due to information sharing concerns, energy industry cybersecurity information is not readily available. However, understanding what your industry peers are doing to respond to a growing cyber threat is required to make the best possible decisions,” said Jon Kerner (http://www.scottmadden.com/bios/771/jon-kerner.html), partner and information technology practice leader at ScottMadden. “ScottMadden is committed to serving the energy community by providing timely cybersecurity information.”

Additional industry cybersecurity information can be found on ScottMadden’s sponsored website:GridCyberSec.com (http://www.gridcybersec.com/). Results from a survey on industry adoption of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework will be released later this year.
