The rise of terrorism and major natural disasters requires grid operators to analyze and deploy software technologies to address the vulnerability of the power grid to physical and cyberattacks. A further challenge for electric utilities involves internal communications as how to communicate security weaknesses identified by utility operations, planning, and engineering personnel to higher-level management. A successful cyberattack can potentially allow a terrorist to destroy equipment by sending false control signals or by disabling grid control center computer systems and monitors. Infrastructure Security Initiative (ISI) has documented lessons learned from actual terrorist attacks and other catastrophic events at utilities around the world.
