SCADA Watch: House Committee on Homeland Security Urges FERC Chairman to Investigate Grid Security
John M. Powers writes on Utilities Online:
Concerned about the results of a secret experiment conducted for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in which a generator was destroyed by a cyber attack, the House Committee on Homeland Security urged Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) chairman Joseph Kelliher to investigate the implementation of certain measures to mitigate security vulnerabilities across the electricity sector.More here.
The request came in the form of a letter to Kelliher from committee members James Langevin (D-RI), Michael McCaul (R-TX), and Shelia Jackson-Lee (D-TX).
