Overview of Cyber Security Threats and Defense Technologies for Energy Critical Infrastructure

Energy critical infrastructure has undergone transformative rapid development in the context of the rapid development of information technology, and has been deeply integrated with new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), big data, and the Internet of Things. While information technology significantly improves the efficiency and performance of energy critical infrastructure, it also brings new types of security threats that are more persistent and covert. An urgent problem is how to establish a systematic and intelligent security defense system for energy critical infrastructure. This paper starts with the development trend of energy critical infrastructure, and analyzes the mechanism of the traditional and new security threat mechanisms it faces. On this basis, insightful analysis on the research status and evolution trends of defense technologies for energy critical infrastructures is made.
