However, there is indeed a probability that added compliance regulations will come out of any legislation that might follow based on reports that were ordered. And there would be little compliance burden at all if ‘critical infrastructure’ was not seriously vulnerable. The combination of vulnerabilities, motivations to exploit them and serious risk to life and property any when exploits are effected, argue in favor of additional compliance efforts. — Tom

The reports need to be publicized. Without appropriations and clear legal directions, little will be accomplished. Appropriate publicity will be required to get matching appropriate Congressional action. For now, we can only wait and see. — Tom
