"Combining power systems and IT for OT awareness to improve cybersecurity responses has been a constant goal for smart grid operators. The C3 Energy cybersecurity workshop focused on high priority use cases for electric grid operators. Having the decision makers and experts around the table led to a practical conversation around analytics to diagnose, prevent, and respond to grid threats," said William Sanders, department head at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Department of Electrical and Computer Science and director of TCIPG. "In this knowledge-sharing workshop, we brainstormed approaches to ensure security and compliance and build upon value-driving cybersecurity software applications, like C3 Grid Cybersecurity Analytics." "C3 Grid Cybersecurity Analytics enables utility operators to improve cybersecurity incident response time, reduce incident diagnostic and management costs, and proactively increase resilience of the enterprise and operational grid against potential threats," said C3 Energy President and Chief Technology Officer Ed Abbo. "With this workshop, we assembled experts in utility cybersecurity and computer science to identify the most effective data analytics and game theory techniques to detect coordinated attacks against critical infrastructure and recommend effective responses to quickly isolate those attacks." C3 Energy is an application software company. ((Comments on this story may be sent to [email protected])) (c) 2014 ProQuest Information and Learning Company; All Rights Reserved.
