The US DOE's CESER office and Sandia National Labs announced the C2E2 initiative under the AI-FORTS program, using LLMs and generative AI to strengthen electric grid cybersecurity.
- Automates grid data engineering, cutting the process from two months to hours
- Detects and locates cyber threat sources with 95% accuracy
- Delivers near-real-time actionable threat intelligence for utility operators
The effort aligns with CESER's FY2026-2030 strategic plan goals.
