Fortify Your Defenses: Strategic Budget Allocation to Enhance Power Grid Cybersecurity. (arXiv:2312.13476v1 [cs.CR])

The abundance of cyber-physical components in modern day power grid with
their diverse hardware and software vulnerabilities has made it difficult to
protect them from advanced persistent threats (APTs). An attack graph depicting
the propagation of potential cyber-attack sequences from the initial access
point to the end objective is vital to identify critical weaknesses of any
cyber-physical system. A cyber security personnel can accordingly plan
preventive mitigation measures for the identified weaknesses addressing the
cyber-attack sequences. However, limitations on available …
