Why Our Critical Infrastructures Need Cybersecurity Protection More Than Ever

By Dr. Jane LeClair, cybersecurity program consultant at TESU.

Imagine this: You wake up tomorrow morning without any electricity in your home. When you turn on the faucet for water to make your coffee, nothing comes out.

Concerned for answers, you pull out your smart phone — only to find that the battery is dead. You then turn on your computer, hoping to connect to WiFi and get some answers, but the wireless router won’t work. Now scared, you break out the portable radio and try to find out what is going on in the world – but there is nothing broadcasting. The radio is silent.
