Birkir Heimisson is a Specialist in Digital and Smart-Grid Development at Landsnet, Iceland.
At the OMICRON Online Conference ”The Future of Substation Automation and Digital Substations", he will present Landsnet’s story since the decision in 2019 that all new and refurbished substations should be made as fully digital.

We called him at work to have a quick chat about his mission. If you want to learn more about Birkir’s experience join us on September 29 and register online: events.omicronenergy.com/iec61850

At this conference we invite you to discuss the challenges of substation automation and digital substation technologies with experts from the European utilities Qirion, Landsnet, Fingrid and Helen presenting interesting case studies alongside in-depth technical presentations from OMICRON experts. You can find detailed information about the speakers and their presentations at the above website.

The Intrusion Detection System (IDS) StationGuard monitors Ethernet networks in the power grid and identifies cyber threats, prohibited activity, and malfunctions. With this combination of cybersecurity and functional monitoring, not only can new threats and as yet unknown attack scenarios be identified, but different kinds of malfunctions in the power utility automation system too.

In this conference presentation, Andreas Klien, cybersecurity expert at OMICRON, talks about the underestimated role of substation cybersecurity and the vulnerability of substations to cyber attacks. An intrusion detection system represents an important building block in the OT security processes. Learn more about OT security in the power grid, starting with applying the NIST Cybersecurity Framework in substations.

Substations can be an attractive target for cyber attacks. When it comes to cybersecurity in the power grid, one often only thinks about the security of the IT infrastructure and the control center. The networks inside the substations are often neglected in the risk assessment.
Andreas Klien, expert in the field of cybersecurity for substations, gives an insight into how you can gain full control over activities in the network and why a firewall is not sufficient as protection in the substation.

He refers to three frequently asked questions by our customers:
• Is a firewall enough to protect my substation?
• How could a cyberattack on a substation work?
• What are the benefits of an IDS in the substation, in addition to a firewall?
