Is the U.S. Power Grid Vulnerable to Chinese Attack?

Подробнее о видео

According to recent hearings by the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, the answer is, “yes.” The committee is concerned about vulnerability of cloud connected systems to cyberattack, but also noted that physical infrastructure attacks in the form of terrorism or vandalism have increased. The timing of these hearings, during a time of negotiations over Chinese access to American technology, isn’t a coincidence.

From an engineering perspective, there are three basic approaches to security and resiliency: predictive analytics and defensive measures to thwart attacks before they happen, hardening of the physical infrastructure and system redundancy.
