ALERT - Anomaly Detection in Power Grid Control Networks

In the project "Alert" we investigate and analyse intrusion-detection systems (IDS) appropriate for the control-networks of (nationwide) high voltage power grids. A special focus in this project will be on anomaly-detection techniques and their integration with other methods. This will allow us to detect also unknown attacks, so that a security information and event management system (SIEM) can raise the appropriate alerts as soon as possible, and so that we can use such data also in the context of prevention mechanisms in order to mitigate arising issues (IDPS).
