To address much-needed efforts to address growing cybersecurity issues and also modernize the country’s grid, the DOE and the National Renewable Energy Lab have launched the Clean Energy Cybersecurity Accelerator, as reported from Business & Industry Connection magazine. The new program will also create a grid that will withstand the transition to a clean energy economy in the effort to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
The new program will encourage the rapid development of cybersecurity technologies by creating cohorts of cybersecurity solution providers that will share ideas, experience and threat intelligence as they test and validate their technologies in the lab. More information is available from the DOE website.
