CESER’s Front Office leads and guides the organization by prioritizing the principal delivery of timely, actionable information to the energy sector. This core principle drives CESER’s three strategic goals: developing world-class security technologies, hardening U.S. energy infrastructure, and responding to and recovering from incidents.
To achieve these critical objectives, the Front Office directs CESER’s resources and capabilities through rigorous policy review and development; active stakeholder engagement; state, local, tribal, and territorial program support; and strategic international coordination to safeguard and prevent damage to U.S. energy facilities and operating systems.
