Video Testimonial
Every system has the vulnerabilities. Every system likes to not think that they have the vulnerabilities. So it takes a real objective look at where it's vulnerable and what can we do to mitigate. Now, a lot of times that's costly and so it's important to do it, but sometimes you have to say, "I'm just going to have to take the risk because I can't afford to mitigate." Now, that is changing as there are programs now, funding programs through the FEMA and Department of Homeland Security that are encouraging utilities to do the vulnerability assessments, try to determine where their problems are, and ask for mitigation funds to mitigate some of that. We'd rather see the systems do it before than after, and that's what's ended up happening in most situations. They want to get money to restore what they had but we also want them to ask to get additional moneys to harden what they're putting in so they don't have to, you know, experience outages in the future.
