ANSER Think Piece: Building Energy Resilience: The Backbone of National Security The energy sector is the backbone of all critical infrastructure - without power, everything stops. Adversaries understand this, making the energy sector a prime target for cyber, physical, and even electromagnetic attacks. But resilience isn't just about defense - it's about innovation. How can we harden our grid, protect against emerging threats, and ensure national security? #FindingANSERsonCI #ANSERThinkPiece #CriticalInfrastructure #ThreatMitigation #NationalSecurity #EnergyResilience #ANSER

Public service. Public trust. Informing decisions that shape the Nation’s future.
About us
In 1958 the Air Force needed a technically qualified unbiased organization that could rapidly provide analysis for identified and evolving mission requirements. Resulting from this need and with the assistance of the Rand Corporation, ANSER was formed. Our client base has grown since 1958 but we haven’t lost the insight and innovation that lead us here. Today ANSER is a public service research institute organized as not-for-profit corporation dedicated to informing decisions that shape the nation’s future. We provide objective studies and analyses to the national security, homeland security, and public policy communities using a diverse set of capabilities that include Analysis of Alternatives, Acquisition Analysis, Workforce Analysis, Performance Measurement, Policy Formulation, Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction and Risk Assessment. ANSER also builds and leads technology development collaborations through its subsidiary, Advanced Technology International (ATI), specializing in organizing and managing research and development consortia on behalf of the federal government.

ANSER's second think piece: Under Attack: Threats to America’s Critical Infrastructure Our nation's critical infrastructure is under siege. From cyberattacks crippling power grids to natural disasters overwhelming supply chains, the threats are evolving and intensifying. Terrorists, hackers, and even the forces of nature are testing the resilience of the systems we rely on every day. Are we ready for what's coming? #FindingANSERsonCI #ANSERThoughtPiece #CriticalInfrastructure #ThreatMitigation #NationalSecurity #ANSER

At ANSER, we’re proud to support the critical work being done by the Department of Defense and interagency partners, including the FBI, during the Prominent Hunt exercise. This exercise was designed to validate the team’s ability to gather evidence and support informed presidential decision-making in a nuclear attack scenario. We are especially proud of the ANSER employees who support the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Matters. Their expertise and dedication help strengthen national security and ensure the safety of our nation in times of crisis. #NationalSecurity #Defense #Collaboration #ANSER #PublicService #InteragencyPartnerships #NuclearMatters https://lnkd.in/eJhb-NzY

ANSER presents our first think piece on Critical Infrastructure Vulnerabilities and the Impact on U.S. National Security. Imagine a cyberattack that targets the U.S. power grid. Within minutes, major cities go dark, water treatment plants shut down, and communication networks begin to fail. Without electricity, hospitals struggle to keep life-saving equipment running, financial systems halt, and military installations face operational disruptions. What began as a digital intrusion has now evolved into a full-scale national crisis, exposing the fragile interdependence of America’s critical infrastructure. #FindingANSERsOnCI #ANSERThinkPiece #CriticalInfrastructure #ThreatMitigation #NationalSecurity #ANSER
