"Identifying What's 'Not Normal' Could Help Protect Electric Power Systems"
Cybersecurity researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) seek to identify "abnormal" and "illogical" control system commands suggesting the presence of insider threats or malicious attackers. They are doing so by gaining further insight into what are considered "normal" operations within electric power systems. Understanding normal operations and detecting suspicious activities will rely on using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to understand what the complex grid systems usually do and to identify actions that logically should not happen. Georgia Tech researchers have started developing "GridLogic," which builds on previous work, a project titled "GridTrust" aimed at preventing outsiders and insiders from attacking the power grid. This article continues to discuss the development and goals of the GridLogic project.
