InnoCyPES: Cyber security threats, attacks, and mitigations in OT systems
In this presentation, we will give an overview of the cyber-threats undermining electrical power grid substation cybersecurity and the impact that a successful cyber-attack can have on the stability of the grid, with a focus on digital substations implementing the IEC 61850 standard.
Through the analysis of real-life cyber-attacks happened in the past decade, we will get insights on how cyber-attackers operate and how critical infrastructure can be protected with standard and advanced security measures.
