How to Make Substations Secure from Cyber Attacks

Protecting the power grid against cyber attacks requires a security strategy that takes hold at all levels. This includes not only controlling physical and digital access from outside, but also monitoring and detecting suspicious or unauthorized activity within the substation network.
