Cybersecurity experts lead research team on power grid protection

In light of recently increasing discussions surrounding cybersecurity concerns and the U.S. power grid, a collaborative project led by researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is seeking do develop new data analysis methods that would offer better protection against cyber threats.

Jamie Van Randwyk of LLNL and Berkeley Lab’s Sean Peisert will head up a project titled “Threat Detection and Response with Data Analytics” as part of a three-year Grid Modernization Initiative sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE). The project’s methods include extended data collection that will feed advanced analyses of power grid failures, enabling security experts to determine whether the failure was caused by a natural disaster, equipment failure, physical damage or cyber attacks. For the full article click here
