The GridBeats Cybersecurity solutions integrate security features into protection and control relays, SCADA human-machine interfaces, substation gateways and network devices. This approach provides security at the fundamental level of grid infrastructure rather than as an add-on layer.
Emerging technologies including quantum-resistant cryptography, blockchain, advanced sensors and edge computing could shape the future of grid security. These innovations require integration through defencein-depth strategies and security-fusion approaches that combine multiple technologies effectively.
“ Anything that is implemented should allow the flexibility for utilities to implement innovative solutions that are suited for their specific infrastructure,” Claudia says.
