Industry 5.0 and smart grid technologies are mutually dependent and synergistic. They complement each other by leveraging advanced digital capabilities to enhance energy efficiency, integrate renewable energy sources, and improve the resilience and reliability of industrial operations and electricity distribution systems. With the mounting threat of cyberattacks targeting digital supply chains, including those of the smart grid, it is evident that vendors, service providers, and outsourced Information and Communication Technology (ICT) providers face equal susceptibility to exploitation by malicious actors. Since all security measures hinge on dependable hardware, comprehending the origins of hardware vulnerabilities in Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), a key component in smart grid systems, is imperative. Given the extended nature of digital supply chains, often involving components from various manufacturers, it is equally important to adopt novel approaches and methodologies to verify that IEDs are as secure as required. Integrating a Hardware Reverse Engineering business subprocess into the equipment procurement process offers a promising avenue for enhancing the cybersecurity and the cyber resilience of the digital supply chain of smart grid operators. This chapter proposes such a process and outlines a use case involving a specific IED commonly employed in digital substations in the smart grid.

“…The role of ICT systems in critical infrastructures (CIs) is inevitable. An industrial control system (ICS) can be used in many processes like water treatment plants, management of water, fertilisers and agrochemicals, chemical plants, sewage treatment plants, mines and metals, power plants and boiler controls, automobile manufacture, metallurgical plants, paper and pulp mills, control of quality, refineries and petrochemicals (oil), food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing (Kumar et al, 2019). Moreover, other kinds of business services and processes are deeply dependent on traditional IT systems.…”

In recent decades, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have significantly evolved, further establishing the information society. However, ICT systems are subject to security incidents, and most malicious attacks have cascading effects. Decision-makers need to understand the potential financial effects of incidents if they wish to clearly perceive the potential risks and thus make an appropriate allocation of resources to ICT security.Our research attempts to develop a comprehensive toolset for the analysis of cybersecurity incidents. The toolset is based on conventional methodologies of cash-flow evaluation and balance of payments. We discuss several use cases of real-world examples with incidents affecting essential service providers and manufacturers. The case studies involve incidents affecting energy service providers, banks, water utilities, aircraft manufacturers, car manufacturers, IT software providers, air, rail, and water transport companies, the pharmacy, and the health sector. Analysis of the incidents involves our framework being applied at three levels: organisational, governmental, and international.
