The Energy Department is actively searching for cybersecurity solutions for the electrical grid.

At a keynote speech in Washington last month, former CIA director Leon E. Panetta warned that cyberspace is the "battlefield of the future." Hackers could trigger disruptions similar to those caused by Hurricane Sandy if they gain access to electricity grids, transportation systems or other networks, he said.

Warnings like Panetta’s have created new opportunities for cybersecurity technology companies that once focused on computer networks. Many are looking to adapt their software to help protect other industries.
