A tool for evolutionary threat analysis of smart grids

Abstract

Cyber-security is becoming more and more relevant with the advent of large-scale systems made of independent and autonomous constituent systems that interoperate to achieve complex goals. Providing security in such cyber-physical systems means, among other features, identifying threats generated by novel detrimental behaviors. This paper presents a tool based on a methodology that is intended to support city evolution and energy planning with a focus on threats due to novel and existing interconnections among different components. More in detail, we report a tool demonstration which shows the application of a tool devised to (i) deal with security threats arising due to evolutions in a Smart City - intended as a complex cyber-physical system -, and (ii) consequently perform threat analysis.
