1) Summary: Protecting Grid Against CyberattackName: Jeff Steele Commercial Property Executive
Category: High TechEmail: query-b4r2@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Commercial Property Executive
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 13 August
Query:
The article is to deal with protecting the electric grid against
the threat of cyberattack. The inspiration is a July 28
statement from a group called Protect Our Power, a coalition of
stakeholders dedicated to the security of the U.S. power
infrastructure (see below). The article should focus on:
* What are the issues involved and actions the U.S. should be
taking to address the threat of cyberattack?
* What steps should commercial property owners take, if any, to
mitigate the disruption to their operations in the event of a
cyberattack?
WASHINGTON, July 28, 2020 - Electric grid advocacy group Protect
Our Power today urged continued and enhanced coordination
between utilities and federal agencies to urgently address
threats to critical infrastructure, as highlighted by the recent
advisory from the National Security Agency (NSA) and the
Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
According to Jim Cunningham, Executive Director of Protect Our
Power:
"The recent Cybersecurity Advisory from NSA and CISA confirms
the urgency of what Protect Our Power has been advocating for
several years now - our electric grid faces very real threats on
a daily basis, and we need to prioritize and address our known
vulnerabilities in a comprehensive and unified manner.
"As this joint report highlights, this is especially true with
regard to Internet-accessible Operational Technology (OT)
assets, which are becoming much more prevalent across critical
infrastructure sectors, including electricity, as companies and
workers increase remote operations.
"Addressing grid threats will require a combination of
government funding and regulatory incentives encouraging
utilities to invest in cybersecurity. It is also critical that
utilities and key government agencies continue to proactively
share cybersecurity information so that all asset owners know
about incoming attacks and effective best practices and
resources to repel or mitigate those attacks. The grid is only
as strong as its weakest link."
About Protect Our Power Protect Our Power is a not-for-profit
organization designed to build a consensus among key
stakeholders, decision-makers and public policy influencers to
launch a coordinated and adequately funded effort to make the
nation's electric grid more resilient and more resistant to all
external threats. POP is singularly and uniquely positioned as a
non-partisan, unbiased thought leader able to serve as a
convening, moderating, action-oriented voice.
Requirements:
Phone interview or written responses sought.

Query:
Hello,
I'm a reporter working for a collaboration between Kansas NPR
stations. I'm working on a story about how the pandemic has
affected the operation of state courts in Kansas. The state
Supreme Court has issued orders for district courts to comply
with local mask regulations, social distancing, remote work and
other modifications throughout the pandemic. The state has also
awarded grant money to some courts to help them buy laptops and
other tech to enable working from home. I'm looking for anyone
who can give me some context for safety and social distancing in
courts, or someone who can talk about technology and court
modernization and how it's been affected by the pandemic. This
would be a recorded phone interview for use in a written story
on our website. It's possible, but unlikely that a small clip of
audio will be used in a radio story for the station.
Nomin Ujiyediin KCUR/Kansas News Service (816) 235-8026
Nomin@kcur.org
Requirements:
Someone who is knowledgeable about pandemic safety in courtrooms
or who is an expert in the use of technology in state courts. I
am especially interested in getting context for why technology
in courts is so outdated.
