Client Alert | 1 min read | 07.19.06

In "Pulling the Plug on the Power Grid: Cyberthreats and Homeland Security Challenges," published in the ABA's SciTech Lawyer (Spring 2006 http://www.crowell.com/pdf/newsroom/Bodenheimer_SciTech.pdf), C&M's David Z. Bodenheimer addresses the mounting concerns and challenges for Homeland Security in building defenses against cyber attacks on the nation's $1 trillion power grid, an essential component of America's critical infrastructure.
