Critical
Critical Infrastructures (CI) are increasingly interconnected and consequently opposed
to multiple new threats such as cyber and terroristic attacks. Therefore, Critical
Infrastructure Protection (CIP) is getting more and more important.
Supervisory, Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are widely deployed in
CIs and should be therefore well protected.
Power grid is a SCADA-based wide area highly interconnected CI. The high level
of interconnectivity can be easily concluded from the low number of power grids in Europe.
The INSPIRE-International cooperation project specifically supports the international
cooperation between the EC FP7 INSPIRE project and the US GridStat project by fostering
the collaboration between INSPIRE RTD researchers and GridStat researchers in the field of
power grid protection. This collaboration aims at making power grid data available to INSPIRE,
establish relationship with GridStat partners, exchange experiences and demonstration activities.
