“Cyberattacks pose a growing threat to the health, safety, and energy security of the American people. As we work to secure critical infrastructure, like pipelines, the grid, telecommunications, and hospital systems, it’s crucial to understand how each agency leverages its unique expertise for cyber preparedness in specific sectors.
