Cybersecurity Facts

» Attack Trend is Increasing

› Bad guys are smart, patient, and determined

» Threats are not just external

› Insiders are behind your firewalls and have unfettered access

» System of Systems Architectures increase complexity

› Hooking lots of things together without a plan is scary

» Enterprise edge is no longer static

› Smartphones and tablets take your network everywhere

» Must be able to incorporate legacy fielded devices

» Compliance ≠ Security


Trust Based Security and CommunicationsSolutions: Trusted Network Platform

» Southern California Edison› TNP deployed on Irvine Smart Grid

› Currently deploying to Bulk Electric Substations

› 8 inflight advanced programs are relying on new security services(e.g. ISGD, Phasor Measurement, SA3, C-RAS, etc.)

» Duke Energy› TNP deployed at Mt. Holly Smart Grid

› TNP supporting advanced distributed architecture

› TNP driving advanced auto-response security policies

» Department of Energy› Research into Automated Response to Malware Attacks


Grid is Transforming to a Hybrid, Central and

Decentralized Control and Generation Model

Currently, large central power plants supply their immediate surroundings. In the future,more small, decentralized wind and solar generators will take up greater load. And

distributed autonomous control functions will be prevalent.

Customized Threat Intelligence (CTI)

» Threat intelligence gathering can betailored to your network elements

» Simulates actual SCADA and ICScomponents used in utility networks

» Active monitoring of live attacks todetermine source and methods ofadversaries

» Profiling and tracking specificadversaries helps preventreconnaissance prior to an attack

» Utilities can strengthen cyberdefenses against attacks specific totheir networks
