Improving Electric Grid Cybersecurity with Cyber-Physical Analysis

Cyber attacks are rising against critical infrastructure systems and have serious implications for our national security. In addition, many interconnected systems are becoming increasingly cyber-physical due to modernization efforts. For example, the electric grid has rapidly evolved with smart grid technologies, wide-area monitoring capabilities, and advanced automation. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the impact of multi-hazard events such as cyber-attacks and extreme weather on these cyber-physical systems.

In this webinar, WiCyS strategic partner Sandia National Laboratories will discuss approaches for incorporating cyber-physical analysis in electric grid response and defense mechanisms for increased situational awareness, improved response, and resilience. This will include ongoing research and development overviews for cyber-physical anomaly detection, cyber-physical data fusion, cyber-physical mitigation deployment, and characterizing cyber-physical system interdependencies.
