An excellent YouTube presentation at the following Link that describes the threats that we citizens of the United States face on a daily basis without recognition or appreciation of the impact of cyber-attacks.
Retired USMC Colonel Brown, of the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory provides insight into cyber-attacks, the perpetrators, and the potential targets here in the U.S.
He believes the electric grid is especially vulnerable and a cyber-attack would have very serious consequences and would take considerable time to recover.
Colonel Brown describes how the U.S. Government is trying to prepare for a cyber-attack, but, it is clear that our ability to detect, defend and counter-attack is lacking. He identifies several weaknesses and approaches to eliminating them.
This is an area that is very poorly understood by the general public and everyone needs to get more educated on the threats and responses to a cyber-attack.
The City of Georgetown and the State of Texas need to take actions to protect the Texas electrical grid from attack!
