NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Snohomish County PUD (PUD) teamed with the Washington State National Guard (NG) and the State of Washington to engage the NG Cyber Team in a historic collaboration to enable the NG Cyber team the opportunity to penetration test the PUD network. The test was coordinated to provide both the PUD and the NG with valuable experience. The NG was able to exercise their cyber team and the PUD was able to test their detection, response, and recovery plans and capabilities. The exercise was presented to the Cyber guard in Washington D.C. as an example of the partnership the Cyber Guard can have with U.S Critical Infrastructure.
