Expected Results:

The Proponent will (1) implement a comprehensive, nationwide survey of energy infrastructure providers to understand the problems they face as broadly as possible; (2) assess how these providers prepare for, and respond to attacks against their systems through conducting a series of interviews; and (3) evaluate what information and tools are available on the internet for hackers to use to carry out these attacks.
