About this Roadmap
vCYBERSECURITY MANUFACTURING ROADMAP 2022 — PUBLIC VERSION
Thus, the cyber security innovations offered by CyManII provide the opportunity to sell
more devices while interweaving cybersecurity into U.S. manufacturing operations.
Ensuring that manufacturers' IP, vital data, and system operation are cybersecure across
the digital threads within critical manufacturing is essential for the competitiveness of
U.S. manufacturers in the global market, as well as our national and economic security.
Roadmap Audience
The primary stakeholders for this Roadmap are the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
and members of CyManII. The key audience for this Roadmap are the representatives
from the manufacturing industry whose partnership will be vital to ensuring that
CyManII’s work is as relevant and impactful as possible. In addition, the awareness of this
document among a broader stakeholder community (e.g., other U.S. Government agencies
and research institutions) will be important to the success of CyManII’s efforts to enable
constructive dialogue and unveil opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing.
The DOE will use this Roadmap to understand CyManII’s planned efforts and to provide
guidance as the key U.S. government sponsor. The Roadmap will inform DOE in its portfolio
of work and describe how CyManII is positioned to achieve its goals.
For this Roadmap version, CyManII needs its members’ feedback on the areas of proposed
R&D in cybersecure energy and emissions-efficient innovation. It will be critical for CyManII
to partner with and learn from members to enable the innovation represented by the
tenets of ε-PURE: cybersecure energy and emissions-efficient solutions that are
Pervasive, Unobtrusive, Resilient, and Economical. Members can also assess how their
organization’s internal cybersecurity plans align with CyManII’s Roadmap to identify high-
priority areas for direct project engagement. Note: a vital subset of the U.S. manufacturing
industry includes SMM, who represent the backbone of U.S. manufacturing but may have
more limited cybersecurity skills and resources.
CyManII leadership will use the Roadmap as a guide for its areas of research and
foundational activities. CyManII will leverage the Roadmap to focus its own organizing
principles, and as a means to engage with, and receive feedback from, key stakeholders. The
Roadmap will inform and shape future Requests for Proposals managed by the Institute.
Other stakeholders—who may include the broader R&D community, non-members and
other government agencies—should use this Roadmap to help them engage with CyManII,
provide feedback on CyManII’s work, shape and inform R&D, and guide the transition of
investments and priorities.
The CyManII Roadmap is the foundational roadmap for this new Institute. It represents an
agile, living planning process and will be updated regularly, based on CyManII research
theme progress and as new needs and insights emerge over the course of ongoing work.
This roadmap was developed with extensive input from experts from the manufacturing
