Cyber security and bulk power generation
A good ‘overview’ article on Energy Central, “Securing the Grid”
This is a little scary, though:
Utilities, meanwhile, are trying to adapt to this changing world. The evidence suggests that while no company has ignored earlier advisories, those entities have varied understandings of what it required of them. In fact, all of the utilities interviewed by government regulators have requested more information as it relates to how they could be attacked and what mitigation efforts are available to stop such breaches.
Couple that paragraph with the fact that most control system people think their situation is unique, and that traditional IT security doesn’t have anything to offer them, and it’s a recipe for disaster.
