Smart Energy & Utilities
Approach & Solution
Approach
- Transforming Critical Energy Infrastructures in Cyber-Physical Systems to manage the effects of potential cyber and physical threats.
- Managing infrastructure security through a specific life cycle analysis model.
- Training staff to identify threats and act in case of emergencies.
Solution
- combine security devices and technologies (e.g. fixed sensors, drones, advanced video surveillance, etc.) to identify cyber and physical threats, mitigate accidents and respond to emergencies;
- provide a "Human-In-The-Loop" approach to manage the interactions between human and infrastructure, also exploiting blockchain technology for peer-to-peer reliability. In this way, it will be possible to ensure a high level of reliability and complete information.
