Avoiding Cyberterrorism Threats Inside Electrical Substations
- Manuel Humberto Santander Peláez
- Tuesday, June 24th, 7:15pm - 8:15pm
The IEC61850 protocol is widely used for automation of operation inside electrical substations and it is also used for replacement of the communications between protection relays by replacing the method of using analog inputs/outputs and wires for communications by GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Events) messages over Ethernet cables. Since most ICS/SCADA systems inside electrical substations are being modernized, protocols and devices use ethernet and IP and so are prone to several vulnerabilities. In this presentation we will discuss the vulnerabilities of protocol IEC 61850 and how to remediate them.
