These IT instrumented systems increasingly face sophisticate d cyber risks and potential attacks on power infrastructure have brought t hese cybersecurity risks to power grids as a prominent national security a genda.\n\nTo address this\, Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (POWERGRID ) in collaboration with Indian Institute of Science\, Bangalore have setup POWERGRID Centre of Excellence in Cybersecurity (PGCoE) for transmission and grid operations (Please visit Home: PGCoE- (iisc.ac.in)). An investmen t of 119 crores over a 10 year period has been planned for cutting edge re search for cybersecurity in electric power transmission and grid operation s.\n\nThe objectives of PGCoE are:\n\nØ To enable continuous R&\;D on cyber security program matching with emerging requirement in the field of transmission and grid operation that would lay a strong foundation for ach ieving excellence in Cyber security of Operational Infrastructure.\n\nØ T his facility would engage in R&\;D aspects of cyber security of power s ystem including security analytics for threat intelligence\, situation awa reness\, incident response\, competency building\, development of defence systems for potential future cyber attacks.\n\nØ CoE envisioned to act as a nodal center and think tank for cyber security concerns in Power Sector and to bring in experts from academia\, research laboratories and utility industry together under one umbrella.\n\nThe broad scope of PGCoE covers Preparedness (compliant and audit frameworks\, tools based situational awa reness)\, Intervention (Research\, standards based Design &\; Developme nt)\, Accountability (pilot deployment\, testing tools deployment\, supply chain security) and Skills development (Training\, capacity building).\n\ nWith an objective to network with the community of researchers and profes sionals engaged in the area of cybersecurity aligned with PGCoE objectives \, a symposium titled\, “GRIDSEC 2024: Symposium on Co-Creation – Cybe rsecurity Research Community for Transmission and Grid Operations” is be ing organised by PGCoE at Indian Institute of Science\, Bangalore on Janua ry 20\, 2024. Through this symposium\, we would be creating a consortium o f experts\, from academia\, national labs and industry. The modalities of the consortium will be deliberated. The goal of the symposium is to identi fy the problems to be addressed that could be used by Transmission and gri d operators of the country. Potential short-term (1-2 years)\, Medium term (3-5 years)\, and long-term (>\;5 years) problem statements and people who would be interested in strongly contributing to the development of sol utions in a mission mode will be identified. Subsequently\, a call for pro posals will be announced for the identified problem statements which will be open only to the registered consortium partners by the end of January 2 024.\n\nWe cordially invite you to participate in the symposium. There is no registration fee\, however\, registration is mandatory. Your travel (ec onomy airfare) and accommodation will be reimbursed as per govt. of India norms. Please register for the symposium before January 05\, 2024. The par ticipation is only by invitation so please refrain from forwarding\n\n\nGr idSec-2024(Report).pdf\n\n \;\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://pgcoe.iisc.ac.in/wp-content/uploads/2023 /04/grid-security.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
