Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This report presents a deployable solution to improve the cybersecurity situational awareness of the legacy supervisory control and data acquisition infrastructure in a power gird. The goal of this project is to provide system owners and operators with a highly trusted alarm and comprehensive situational awareness of ongoing or potential cybersecurity threats on the grid network. The key contributions of this project include: 1) development of a software (named iViz-OT) to visualize and locate intrusions in the grid network, 2) testing of signature-based intrusion detection systems (IDS) for different types of intrusions, 3) integration of the novel software and the IDS with the visualization dashboard, and 4) real-time testing using a harware-in-the-loop testbed.
