The dramatic increase in the attack surface of a modern power grid necessitates effective solutions to protect EPES from these high-impact cyber attacks.
CyberSEAS focuses precisely on these attacks, which not only have the highest potential to disrupt the business continuity of critical elements in energy distribution, but also – and more importantly – cause serious security incidents, with loss of life and substantial damage to infrastructure (including cascading effects) and critical privacy breaches.
CyberSEAS considers the challenges and constraints arising from the increasing use of decentralised renewable energy sources and the large proportion of legacy systems that will continue to co-exist in extended energy supply chains involving a variety of different operators and consumers.
CyberSEAS also covers attacks on the confidentiality of citizens’ data, as well as on the privacy and integrity of the energy data space in general.
