UBITECH presents the Roadmap towards Sustainable Security in Smart Grids

Looking ahead, UBITECH invests to research and technology transfer to the critical infrastructures’ domain and applications, focusing particularly on addressing future security challenges in the Smart Grid, as it is a de facto critical infrastructure, important for the well-functioning of the society and economy. Smart grids have become complex System of Systems (SoS), engaging several stakeholders in the energy supply chain being responsible for energy Generation, Transmission, Distribution, and Consumption. In this frame the threat landscape of the Smart Grids in constantly expanding and in order to safeguard the today’s systems and infrastructures we need to go beyond the simplistic consideration of the traditional security properties of Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. UBITECH strongly believes that the road towards sustainable security in Smart Grids, passes through Trust Management and Operational Assurance. Dr Dimitris Papamartzivanos, member of the Digital Security & Trusted Computing Research Group of UBITECH, presented in the International Hybrid Event on Energy Crisis and Cybersecurity that held in Baku, Azerbaijan and organized by ELECTRON H2020 project (https://electron-project.eu/electron-international-event-baku/), UBITECH’s vision towards Sustainable Security in Smart Grids.
