Capítulo Español IEEE/PES Estimados miembros del Capítulo: Se remite información de un nuevo seminario, esperando que sea de vuestro interés. Un saludo, José María Maza Ortega, Presidente Capítulo Español de IEEE/PES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Título: Cybersecurity of Control Room of the Future using Artificial Intelligence Ponente: Dr. Alex Stefanov, TU Delft, The Netherlands Resumen: Electrical power grids are vulnerable to cyber attacks, as seen in Ukraine in and 2022, 2016, and 2015. These cyber attacks are classified as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) posing serious threats to power grid operation from Control Room of the Future (CRoF), potentially causing cascading failures and wide-spread blackouts. However, state-of-the-art intrusion detection systems and mitigation techniques are inadequate for APT detection and prevention owing to their stealthy nature and long-lasting persistence. Furthermore, they are ineffective as they focus on individual anomaly instances and overlook the correlation between attack instances. In this seminar, we analyse the emerging cyber security threats for power systems. We will discuss how APTs on Operational Technologies (OT) networks in CRoF and digital substations can cause cascading failures and continental blackouts. Solutions using AI are discussed to strengthen the cyber security of CRoF. AI-based methods will be presented for spatio-temporal APT detection and correlation for cyber-physical power systems from CRoF. They provide online situational awareness for power system operators to pinpoint power system-wide anomaly locations in near real-time and pre-emptively mitigate APTs using preventive controlled islanding at an early stage before causing adverse impacts. A CRoF cyber range infrastructure is presented for joint attack / defence exercises and training of power grid operators in CRoF and cyber security professionals in Security Operation Centers (SOC) to cooperatively detect and mitigate APTs and increase the cyber security and cyber resilience of power grids Lugar: Videconferencia Idioma: Inglés Fecha: Lunes, 9 de noviembre de 2026 Hora: 18:00 - 19:30 (CET) Webinar gratuito Registro: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/event/register/589331 Cierre registro: 06.11.2026 a las 11:00 AM (CET) Nota: El registro es obligatorio para recibir el enlace URL del evento, que será enviado el mismo día del evento a las 13:00 (CET).
