CSIAC Webinars » Cyberphysical Infrastructure Testbeds
Cyberphysical security challenges intersecting the Internet and the electricity grid – and therefore, all critical infrastructures – require multi-stakeholder public-private partnerships across the nation to protect against known clear and present dangers. Cyberphysical infrastructure testbeds must engage industry and the research community, address legacy complex system vulnerabilities, and integrate and test smart grid and mobility novel and known best practices.
