“…A further interesting research direction is represented by the integration of the results from cyber attack experiments, such as those presented in [37], to refine and validate the Petri net modeling the attack process and evaluate its impact.…”

Electrical power system ICT threatsCritical infrastructure dependencies A B S T R A C TIn this paper we present an approach to model and quantify (inter)dependencies between the Electrical Infrastructure (EI) and the Information Infrastructure (II) that implements the EI control and monitoring system. The quantification is achieved through the integration of two models: one that concentrates more on the structure of the power grid and its physical quantities and one that concentrates on the behavior of the control system supported by the II. The modeling approach is exemplified on a scenario whose goal is to study the effects of an II partial failure (a denial of service attack that compromises the communication network) on the remote control of the EI. The approach has been initially developed as part of the European project CRUTIAL.

“…In the ongoing RSE research activity the information and data from the realisation of the attack experiments are integrated in a cyber-power risk assessment framework to estimate the vulnerability and threat probabilities conditioning the successfulness of given attacks [9]. The risk index instantiated over the experimental results allows identifying the architectural tuning points in relation to possible mitigation actions of residual risks.…”

The work presents a methodology for the experimental evaluation of cyber failures to power grid control networks. The methodology has been applied to standard communications of the grid telecontrol test bed in the Power Control System -Resilience Testing Laboratory of RSE for producing performance measures about the effects of both accidental and intentionally malicious attacks on the telecontrol traffic.

“…• Resilience Planning -In resilience planning for information security, we assume that a given breach episode has already happened, and the planner's goal is to minimize the impact and to recover to a workable state as soon as possible (Dondossola et al 2011, Rose 2004a, Vugrin et al 2011. Because the proposed branching activity model is focused on response and recovery activities, it is ideally suited to support resilience planning.…”
