Executive Order 13800 (EO 13800), Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure (May 2017), directs DOE and other Sector-Specific Agencies to examine how federal authorities and capabilities can be better used to support the cybersecurity risk management efforts of critical infrastructure entities, particularly those assets designated at greatest risk under Section 9 of EO 13636. The order also directs DOE to work with DHS, the Director of National Intelligence, and other partners to assess U.S. readiness to manage a prolonged power outage due to cyber-attack and any gaps in assets or capabilities needed to mitigate potential consequences.
