Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response

Cyber threats targeting energy systems continue to increase and evolve; foreign adversaries, nation states, and criminal actors pose a serious threat to U.S. critical energy infrastructure. CESER mitigates cyber risks to the energy sector through threat-informed research and development, the deployment of innovative tools and technologies, policy, and strategic partnerships that facilitate information sharing to bolster the cybersecurity and resilience of critical energy infrastructure.

Physical threats to energy infrastructure are unique because they take a wide variety of forms. They can be accidental or purposeful incidents, and have a variety of motives. CESER works closely with partners in the intelligence and law enforcement communities, and with industry, to mitigate risks posed by physical attacks on energy infrastructure.

Electromagnetic Pulse Activities

Natural hazards and extreme weather are impacting communities and destroying critical infrastructure more frequently and with greater intensity. CESER works to mitigate the risks posed to the energy sector by events such as wildfires and hurricanes, as well as from space weather such as solar flares and other geomagnetic disturbances.
