Energy Industry: Cyber ​​Attacks and RegulationsFor many industries, relying solely on the NIST framework is not enough. The framework is not intended to replace existing cyber threat management processes, however, by using the framework as a foundation, they can identify gaps in the most important infrastructure and find a way to strengthen and improve its security. For example, the energy industry is one of the most important industries and plays a vital role in keeping the country safe. Therefore, most cyber attacks target it. To keep it safe, many agencies are involved in improving best practices and standards for the industry and strengthening its critical infrastructure. According to the Department of Homeland Security - Industrial Control Systems Cyber ​​Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) the energy sector has been a focal point for cyber attacks. The Industrial Control Systems Computer Emergency Response Team (ICS-CERT) is working to reduce risks across critical infrastructure across multiple industries. Coordinates control system-related security incidents and information sharing among critical infrastructure stakeholders such as federal, state, local, and tribal governments and control system owners, operators, and vendors. In the first half of fiscal year 2013, (October 1, 2012–May 2013), ICS-CERT responded to more than 200 incidents across all critical infrastructure sectors. The highest percentage of incidents reported to ICS-CERT occurred in the energy sector, at 53%. 53% of attacks targeting the energy sector were carried out for competitive advantage, information warfare, extortion, protest, financial gain and revenge. . And they are usually carried out through... middle of the sheet... Technology Directorate Cyber ​​Security DivisionThe objectives of the Cyber ​​Security Division are:• Develop and transfer new technologies, tools and techniques to protect and secure systems, networks, infrastructures and users, improving key elements of our nation's critical infrastructure and the world's information technology infrastructure. • Provide research and development (R&D) coordination and leadership across federal, state, and municipal governments; international partners; the private sector; and academia to improve cybersecurity research infrastructures. About the National Science Foundation (NSF) The NSF is an independent federal agency that advances science; promote national health, prosperity and well-being; and to ensure national defense. It has funded many researchers to help improve cybersecurity industry practices.
