OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Scientists are simulating cyber attacks and system failures on real-world energy infrastructure - without ever putting the actual grid at risk.
This is Skyfall at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
From real-world incidents like the Ukraine power grid cyberattack 2015 to cascading failures across interconnected systems, this episode explores how cyber-physical incidents can disrupt critical infrastructure in the United States - and how scientists at Skyfall are working to understand and prepare for them. Researchers are using simulation, AI and new approaches like the immune infrastructure framework to understand those risks - and design systems that can adapt and recover when things go wrong.
Guests featured (in order of appearance):
