Smart Power Infrastructure Demonstration for Energy Reliability and Security (SPIDERS)

Cyber experimenters have faced a perplexing challenge when it comes to performance metrics. There is no commonly accepted standard to compare system resilience to a cyber-attack. Through a series of red team experiments on DoD microgrids, both in labs and against live systems, researchers from U.S. Pacific Command have developed a metric that has proven to be useful and could be adopted as an industry standard. In this session, the metric will be introduced and explained via an example followed by an honest description of its limitations.
