 Initiative Number: 4.4.3 Initiative Title: Build and refine training, tools, and support for engineers and technicians using cyber-informed engineering principles Initiative Description The Department of Energy will work with stakeholders to build on the National Cyber-Informed Engineering Strategy to advance the training, tools, and support for engineers and technicians to enable them to design, build, and operate operational technology and control systems that are secure- and resilient-by-design. NCS Reference The Administration will seize this strategic opportunity to build in cybersecurity proactively through implementation of the Congressionally-directed National Cyber-Informed Engineering Strategy, rather than developing a patchwork of security controls after these connected devices are widely deployed.
