With the increase in the number of cyber incidents & sophisticated cyber-attacks on the power infrastructure makes POWERGRID cybersecurity a top national priority. Despite improvements in the cyber defences the attacker goals are shifting from disruption to destruction.
POWERGRID cyber security program will follow two-pronged approach supporting one sustainable & other disruptive change.
In the view of the above reasons POWERGRID Corporation of India is collaborating with IISc to setup Cyber Security Centre of Excellence covering broad scope as Preparedness (audit frameworks & Tools), Intervention (Research, standard based Design & Development) , Accountability (pilot deployment, tool development) & Skill development.
