Cybersecuring Facility-Related Control Systems

Federal facilities are increasingly relying on control systems to enhance efficiency, optimize operations, and integrate renewable energy—but this connectivity comes with cybersecurity risks. The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) offers tools like the Facility Cybersecurity Framework and the Distributed Energy Resource Cybersecurity Framework to help identify vulnerabilities and improve security. By aligning with standards like NIST Risk Management Framework, FEMP empowers agencies to manage risks, protect critical infrastructure, and ensure seamless facility operations. Safeguarding these systems is essential to prevent cyber threats while unlocking energy and operational savings.
