#Articles on game models for cybersecurity of smart grids generator#
Unlike traditional solutions designed to transport electricity from a generator set to end-users through a unidirectional flow of power and a centralized control system, modern Smart Grids are fully distributed systems that make extensive use of computer remote control and automation. The idea of innovative transformation of the power industry involves the development and implementation of distributed, self-regulating energy systems, which include generating sources and backbone and separate networks where all types of consumers are served by the intelligent network in real time. The growth of Smart Grids is causing a complex transformation of electricity generation and distribution into new flexible integrated transmission and distribution systems.
It can be applied for the assessment of the CHL of Smart Grids operating organizations with respect to a number of recommended good practices in cyber hygiene. The proposed methodology is one example of a resilient approach to cybersecurity. The result of the assessment can be used as a cyber-health check to define countermeasures and to reapprove cyber hygiene rules and security standards and specifications adopted by the Smart Grid operator organization. Complementary to the SPEAR Cyber Hygiene Maturity Model (CHMM), we propose a self-assessment methodology based on a questionnaire for Smart Grid cyber hygiene practices evaluation.
This article presents the assessment framework for evaluating Cyber Hygiene Level (CHL) in relation to the Smart Grids. In an attempt to achieve high resilience of Smart Grids against negative impacts caused by different types of common, predictable but also uncommon, unexpected, and uncertain threats and keep entities safe, the Secure and PrivatE smArt gRid (SPEAR) Horizon 2020 project has created an organization-wide cyber hygiene policy and developed a Cyber Hygiene Maturity assessment Framework (CHMF). It is a preventive approach entailing high organizational culture and education for information cybersecurity to enhance resilience and protect sensitive data.
