as such, all utilities consider emergency response planning to be essential to the mention, and pepco holdings is no exception. all utilities have considered cybersecurity matters in their emergency planning for some time. but as the risk of a cyber event has grown, so, too, has our collective attention to this risk. we take appropriate multilayered defense in depth steps to address cyber threats. for obvious reasons i can't talk about the actual steps and procedures and system that employs but i can speak to the four broad categories under which they fall. the first to our preparedness and prevention. one way we enhance our preparedness and prevention efforts is t through information sharing which you've heard repeatedly this morning through participation in various threat and all of the assessments with government agencies, industry groups. companies, and third party experts in the cybersecurity feel. this includes for example, penetration tests at phi that go beyond nerc complaints. assuring that great participants at the time access to actionable threat information from the intell
