Infos

In European electrical systems, most information and communication infrastructures currently in use for remote operation and control are still privately owned and operated. To some extent this may limit the likelihood and impact of cyber attacks for the time being, but in a mid-term perspective the trend towards using open protocols and public information and communication infrastructures for automation support cannot be avoided, due to the widespread availability and flexibility of market standard solutions, and to the feasibility of value-added customer services they provide. Hence, due to economic and political pressures (liberalisation, European integration, globalisation, standardisation, reduction of operating costs) adoption of open IC infrastructures for electrical system automation will undoubtedly spread notwithstanding the exposure to cyber attacks threats.
