As power transmission and distribution become more unpredictable, power grid operators are compelled to increase their reliance on communication infrastructure for grid monitoring and control. Along with this, Power Grids are confronting significant cyber-security challenges. This FDP will help the attendees to understand how power systems are affected by assaults that inject false datawhich can disrupt distributed control and lead to an imbalance in power supply and demand. Cybersecurity is a critical concern in the context of automation, as the increasing reliance on automated systems introduces new challenges and risks. Automation systems often rely on software and hardware components that may have vulnerabilities. If these vulnerabilities are exploited, attackers can gain unauthorized access, disrupt operations, or manipulate data. Weak or poorly implemented authentication mechanisms can allow unauthorized individuals to access automation systems. Additionally, inadequate authorization controls may permit users to perform actions beyond their intended scope.
