Gov. Andrew Cuomo isn't alone when it comes to worrying about cyber security in New York state.

National Grid, upstate New York's dominant gas and electric utility, plans to spend $7.5 million over the next three years on cyber security.

The details were included in the company's request for a $407 million rate hike in upstate New York that is being considered by the state Public Service Commission.

National Grid's proposed rate hike would bump the average monthly utility bill by between $10 and $22 . The increase, which may be phased in over several years, would take effect next April.

"Enhanced cyber security is one of the company's top priorities," National Grid's New York President Ken Daly said in testimony submitted to the PSC. "With the grid becoming more interactive by the day, and with increasing amounts of data being exchanged between the company, customers and third parties, incremental investment in cyber security is required to mitigate risk and ensure reliability."

Daly said that the money will be used to not only protect the grid but also customer data from cyber theft.

Cuomo has ordered an in-depth review of the state's voting systems in the wake of investigations into Russian interference into the 2016 presidential election.

One of the groups fighting external disruption of elections in New York and elsewhere is the Center for Internet Security in East Greenbush. That group helped to monitor November's elections, including votes cast in New York, and said the day after the election that there had been little disruption by hackers.
