Cybersecurity and Connecticut's Public Utility Companies

On April 14, 2014, PURA issued a strategic plan, Cybersecurity and Connecticut's Public Utilities, which outlined a roadmap to strengthen the cybersecurity practices of public utility companies.  On April 6, 2016, PURA issued its Cybersecurity Action Plan, which established a collaborative process among State officials and Connecticut’s electric, natural gas, and major water utilities to conduct an annual review of the companies’ cybersecurity programs. 

Annual cybersecurity reports are available, below.

The State of Connecticut’s Cybersecurity Resource Page provides additional information and resources, including recommended best practices, for officials, private organizations, and individuals.
