The U.S. Department of Energy and CESER will be tasked with working alongside national laboratories to provide expert technical advice for an annual cybersecurity competition—the President’s Cup Cybersecurity Competition. This competition, intended for Federal, civilian, and military employees, will identify, challenge, and reward the Government’s best cybersecurity practitioners. CESER also will work with U.S. DOE to identify skill gaps in Energy Sector security so that these gaps can be rectified.
