DAHBOO 77 - "LIGHTS OUT": DHS, POLICE AND MILITARY HOLD DRILL SIMULATING ATTACKS ON POWER GRID

"Lights Out": DHS, Police and Military Hold Drill Simulating Attacks On Power Grid

Published on Oct 22, 2016
Kentucky government officials, law enforcement and private-sector representatives ran through a worst-case scenario recently for October Training, preparing for how the state would react if hackers took down the power grid to a quarter of the state while simultaneously attempting to steal data from government computer networks. An EMP Attack would also present a very similar situation to where the Grid is Down!

The exercise comes amid the growing rise of hacking incidents, including hacks of the Democratic National Committee, with U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is pointing the finger at Russia, saying the foreign nation is trying to influence the presidential election.

Fifty participants attended the theoretical training exercise hosted by the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security.

“A primary goal of the initiative is for states to develop strategies for strengthening cyber security practices across the Commonwealth,” explained KOHS Executive Director John Holiday in a press release. “The summit brings together state policy leaders, as well as private sector experts and federal partners, to highlight innovative practices and identify ways in which state-driven solutions can be replicated nationwide.”

KOHS Director of Public Affairs and Community Outreach Mike Sunseri told Pure Politics on Wednesday that Holiday stressed the “critical importance” of having a critique of the event which was guided in part by federal partners.

During the last half hour of the exercise, the group broke down how separate entities were able to deal with the ever-changing situation. Participants in the training included the Commonwealth Office of Technology, U.S. Deptartment of Homeland Security, FBI, Department of Corrections, Kentucky National Guard, Kentucky State Police, Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Department of Revenue, Finance Cabinet and private-sector representatives from Louisville Gas and Electric.
