摘要

To maintain the security, resilience, and dependability of energy infrastructure, power systems must be rapidly digitalized and interconnected to protect them from growing cyber threats. This calls for the implementation of sophisticated cybersecurity measures. This paper explores complete tactics beyond traditional methods to improve cybersecurity in power systems as it emphasizes how the threat landscape is changing and how old physical power grids are giving way to digitally networked systems. Strategies, including risk assessment, network segmentation, and human firewall development, are examined to remain ahead of evolving cyber dangers. Industry collaboration and information sharing are emphasized as being crucial. The report offers a comprehensive cybersecurity architecture that includes state-of-the-art technologies. Blockchain technology is being investigated for controlling decentralized power grids and guaranteeing tamper-resistant data integrity. The study suggests a comprehensive strategy that includes investment in cutting-edge technology like quantum-safe encryption, threat analysis, industry standard compliance, and ongoing monitoring. It also highlights how important it is to strengthen the human firewall with security awareness, training, and stringent access controls. By combining these approaches, we hope to effectively navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape while guaranteeing power system security and fostering a resilient energy infrastructure.
