Cyber Resilience – Understanding the Threat Landscape of a Microgrid

In practice, a microgrid is a miniature version of the main electric grid but has the ability to connect and disconnect its power generation sources from the grid as needed. This makes microgrids a valuable resource for water and wastewater utilities offering redundancy when it comes to keeping the power on. However, while utilities may be using microgrids for a variety of necessary reasons, it’s important to assess the threat landscape that these systems could pose as they can potentially open your utility up to a variety of additional threats and vulnerabilities.

Cyber Resilience – Building a Robust Cybersecurity Effort: Resilience Over Prevention

In today's digital landscape, cyber attacks are not a question of if, but when. Traditional cybersecurity strategies often focus solely on prevention, which may have been sufficient in the past, but is now becoming more and more inadequate. Adopting a cyber resilience framework helps shift this perspective, prioritizing readiness to mitigate impacts and facilitate swift recovery from cyber threats. With the threat of cyber attacks rising, establishing a proactive framework for managing and recovering from threats is essential.
