Our team includes electrical engineers, computer engineers and cyber security experts, statisticians and risk experts, attorneys and regulatory experts, professional auditors, systems engineers, organizational design experts, and professional trainers. Our team identifies and prioritizes risks facing our electric grid; determines sustainable mitigation strategies to address these identified risks; and develops and deploys communication and outreach strategies to drive awareness and further ensure risk resolution. Our team partners with the best and brightest individuals from both the power industry and the federal government to understand and address the complex and evolving challenges facing the electric grid and its security. These key partnerships make our work more informed, pragmatic, responsive, and impactful.
