Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting the nation's electricity grid from cyber attacks is a critical national security issue. Evidence collected by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) suggests that cyber attacks on key energy infrastructure, and on the electricity system in particular, are increasing, both in frequency and sophistication. These trends are alarming because the potential consequences of a successful large-scale cyber attack, or combined cyber and physical attack, on the electric power sector are difficult to overstate. The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently noted that cyber attacks are eclipsing terrorism as the primary threat facing the United States.
Download or read book Cybersecurity written by U.s. Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " The electric power industry is increasingly incorporating information technology (IT) systems and networks into its existing infrastructure (e.g., electricity networks, including power lines and customer meters). This use of IT can provide many benefits, such as greater efficiency and lower costs to consumers. However, this increased reliance on IT systems and networks also exposes the grid to cybersecurity vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by attackers. Moreover, GAO has identified protecting systems supporting our nation's critical infrastructure (which includes the electricity grid) as a governmentwide high-risk area. GAO was asked to testify on the status of actions to protect the electricity grid from cyber attacks. Accordingly, this statement discusses (1) cyber threats facing cyber-reliant critical infrastructures, which include the electricity grid, and (2) actions taken and challenges remaining to secure the grid against cyber attacks. In preparing this statement, GAO relied on previously published work in this area and reviewed reports from other federal agencies, media reports, and other publicly available sources. "

Download or read book Applied Cyber Security and the Smart Grid written by Eric D. Knapp and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people think of the Smart Grid as a power distribution group built on advanced smart metering—but that's just one aspect of a much larger and more complex system. The "Smart Grid" requires new technologies throughout energy generation, transmission and distribution, and even the homes and businesses being served by the grid. This also represents new information paths between these new systems and services, all of which represents risk, requiring a more thorough approach to where and how cyber security controls are implemented. This insight provides a detailed architecture of the entire Smart Grid, with recommended cyber security measures for everything from the supply chain to the consumer. - Discover the potential of the Smart Grid - Learn in depth about its systems - See its vulnerabilities and how best to protect it

Book excerpt: "The electric power industry -- including transmission and distribution systems -- increasingly uses information and communications technology systems to automate actions with the aim of improving the electric grid's reliability and efficiency. However, these 'smart grid' technologies may be vulnerable to cyber-based attacks and other threats that could disrupt the nation's electricity infrastructure. Several federal entities have responsibilities for overseeing and helping to secure the electricity grid. Because of the proliferation of cyber threats, since 2003 GAO has designated protecting the systems supporting U.S. critical infrastructure (which includes the electricity grid) as a high-risk area. GAO was asked to provide a statement on opportunities to improve cybersecurity for the electricity grid. In preparing this statement, GAO relied on previous work on efforts to address cybersecurity of the electric sector"--Preliminary page.
Download or read book Security and Privacy in Smart Grid written by Asmaa Abdallah and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief addresses the main security concerns for smart grid, e.g., the privacy of electricity consumers, the exchanged messages integrity and confidentiality, the authenticity of participated parties, and the false data injection attacks. Moreover, the authors demonstrate in detail the various proposed techniques to secure the smart grid’s different communication networks and preserve the privacy of the involved. Over many years, power grid has generated electricity from central generators and distributed it in one direction from the generation stations to end-users; also, information is one directional so that the grid’s control center doesn’t get enough information about customers’ requirements and consequently can’t prevent electricity losses. So, the electricity grid is merged with information and communication technology to form smart grid. The main target of this incorporation is to connect different parties of power grid to exchange information about grid conditions and customers’ requirements, and consequently, improve the reliability and efficiency of electricity generation and distribution. That upgrade of the power grid exposes it to the cyber security threats that the communication networks suffer from, such as malicious attacks to forge the electricity consumption readings or price, extract personal information for residential consumers, such as daily habits and life style, or attack some grid’s resources and equipment availability using denial-of-service attacks. Also, novel threats are introduced in smart grid due to the power grid nature, such as false data injection attack, in which the adversary compromises several measurement units and injects false information about the grid conditions that mislead the grid’s control center to make wrong decisions for the grid and consequently impact on its stability and efficiency.

Download or read book The Current State of Critical Infrastructure Protection written by Jessica Katz and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electric grid is one of eighteen critical infrastructures in the United States that is at risk from cyber attacks. As critical infrastructures become more reliant on networked systems, it is likely that the threat of cyber attacks will increase. These types of attacks are easily executed, inexpensive, and may be performed from anywhere in the world, making it an all too popular tool among hackers and terrorists. Cyber attacks launched against the electric grid have serious economic impact. The banking and financial sectors rely heavily on electricity to facilitate transactions via computer networks. Due to increased reliance on electricity, it is important that both physical security and cyber security of the electric grid is improved. The United States and Australia have established and implemented critical infrastructure protection strategies to protect against cyber based threats. This research established that there is a need for the public and private sectors to partner in regard to critical infrastructure cyber security, specifically the electrical grid. The ability of a nation to adequately defend against cyber attacks is highly dependent upon information sharing between private industry and government. Research concluded that the United States information protection regulations are stronger than Australia's. The Australian government has a laissez faire approach to information protection as opposed to a highly enforced compliancy standard, as implemented in the United States. Further research into how other countries are regulating cyber security is required to provide insight into an effective information protection strategy for the future of critical infrastructures.

This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electric power is a critical infrastructure that is vital to the U.S. economy and national security. Today, the nation's electric power infrastructure is threatened by malicious attacks, accidents, and failures, as well as disruptive natural events. As the electric grid evolves and becomes increasingly interdependent with other critical infrastructures, the nation is challenged to defend against these threats and to advance grid capabilities with reliable defenses. On November 1, 2019, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop to gather diverse perspectives on current and future threats to the electric power system, activities that the subsector is pursuing to defend itself, and how this work may evolve over the coming decades. This publications summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
