DHS quietly testing power plant cybersecurity

Department of Homeland Security is creating specialized teams of experts to test industrial control systems at U.S. power plants for cybersecurity weaknesses. DHS has so far created four teams to conduct such assessments, according to a report published today by the Associate Press. Each DHS team is said to be equipped with forensic tools, cables, converters and data storage equipment to be used to probe for and fix security vulnerabilities in control systems. The program’s annual budget is expected to grow from $10 million to $15 million next year.”]
