MISSION
Strengthen the security and resilience of the U.S. energy sector.
VISION
A secure, resilient, and adaptive energy sector capable of withstanding complex and emerging threats to deliver reliable energy for all Americans.
GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Provide Timely and Actionable Information to the Energy Sector
CESER success in protecting the U.S. energy infrastructure is furthered through a range of strategic programs and expert capabilities. "Provide Timely and Actionable Information to the Energy Sector" is a guiding principle underpinning the three strategic goals for CESER to accomplish its mission.
CESER places a high priority on providing timely and actionable information to the energy sector. This guiding principle is set apart to illustrate that it underpins all three strategic goals.
With this distinction, CESER emphasizes how consistent, accurate, and actionable information is needed for the energy sector to address threats fully.
This guiding principle is a catalyst for enduring alliances between CESER and the energy industry. Their mutual focus is on reducing risk exposure and safeguarding infrastructure and supply chains from harm.
CESER-sponsored programs engage energy owners and operators in addressing current and future threats more effectively.
Aided by new operational technologies, CESER is augmenting traditional analysis and reporting capabilities to improve critical infrastructure, prioritizing security, reliability, and efficiency of operations. Through ongoing work with energy partners, including Power Marketing Administrations, CESER is also continually testing and deploying innovative new technologies.
- OBJECTIVE 1 - Develop actionable energy specific threat products and evaluate the effectiveness of CESER advisories to strategic partners.
- OBJECTIVE 2 - Increase CESER monitoring for hardware and software vulnerabilities in energy supply chains to improve cybersecurity, operational planning, and energy resilience.
- OBJECTIVE 3 - Clarify expectations for strategic partnerships and conduct annual evaluations to ensure adequate capacity, succession planning, and accountability.
