From turbine to toaster, the electrical grids are evolving. Increases in distributed generation, battery storage, advanced metering, and automation results in a growing dependency on computational and communication technology. With engineers and technicians historically focused only on the physical infrastructure, there is an increased need to bring that same focus and understanding to the grid’s supporting cyber infrastructure. By first examining the multitude of cyber threats, this talk explores the challenges, misconceptions, and barriers associated with protecting the modernized power grid.
