The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Unclassified Cyber Security Program - 2008

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission depends on information technology to support its strategic goals of promoting the development of a strong energy infrastructure, supporting competitive markets, and preventing market manipulation. As with virtually all Government and private sector organizations, the Commission is faced with numerous and increasingly sophisticated attacks on its systems and data.
