Cybersecurity of Energy Operational Technology

What you'll do:

Students will learn about power grid operation, generation, and transmission emergencies and evidence of cyberattacks on a grid system. This knowledge is applied through attack and defend scenarios where students execute dispatch and switching orders to mitigate physical system damage

Learning Objectives:

• Understand basics of power grid infrastructure including generation, transmission, and distribution
• Manage transmission system contingencies under normal and emergency system operation
• Recognize evidence of cyberattacks on a transmission system
• Identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities in operational technologies
• Apply knowledge of power system vulnerabilities to identify cyberattacks
• Execute dispatch and switching orders to mitigate physical damage to power system equipment caused by cyberattacks

What you'll do:

Students will engage with subject matter experts from IncSys and apply knowledge through real-time simulated attack and defend scenarios.

Who this course is designed for:

This course is reserved for ASU ROTC or military-affiliated students in STEM majors with good academic standing.
