"Protecting Critical Energy Infrastructure"

Both Israel and the US are facing more costly cyberattacks that could result in significant damage to critical energy infrastructure. A new consortium led by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and Arizona State University (ASU) will receive up to $6 million under a U.S.-Israel Energy Center research funding grant for energy infrastructure cybersecurity. Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GT) and several other tech partners are also included in the consortium. The consortium is working on a project titled "Comprehensive Cybersecurity Technology for Critical Power Infrastructure AI-Based Centralized Defense and Edge Resilience." This consortium aims to develop, integrate, and test technologies, as well as demonstrate high-value technologies capable of mitigating cyberattacks on the energy infrastructure. Data analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) will be applied. This article continues to discuss the new consortium that brings BGU, ASU, and GT together and allocates resources to develop new technology for improving the cybersecurity of critical energy infrastructure.
