AGI SP23 Power Seminar Series: Attack Graph Driven Cyber-Physical System (CPS) Resilience Assessment

About the event

Advanced Grid Institute presents “Attack Graph Driven Cyber-Physical System (CPS) Resilience Assessment” by Dr. Sumit Purohit, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

OVERVIEW

Resilience assessment of cyber-physical energy systems (CPESs), such as the electric power grid, is a critical operation to maintain availability, reliability, and quality of service in the presence of persistent threats from malicious cyber actors. This talk will present Hybrid Attack Graph (HAG), to provide a flexible and efficient approach to generating attack sequences for the CPSs. Real-world attack scenarios will be discussed to highlight simulation-driven, graph-based approaches for CPS resiliency experimentations.
