Intrusion Detection in OT/SCADA Cyber Security and Tabular Generative Adversarial Networks
Hillol Biswas, Muthyala Manoj Kumar, Pawan Kumar · 2024
The modern Smart Grid is characterised by the simultaneous flow of power and information in both directions. It is considered a critical infrastructure within the realm of cyber security frameworks. Traditionally, the energy system is composed of many components including generation, transmission, which refers to the country’s national grid, state/regional grid, distribution grid, and the integration of distributed energy resources (DER). The standard cybersecurity ecosystem consists of Network Defence, Application Security, Cloud Security, and Endpoint Security, together with operational technology (OT), supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA), Smart Grid, Wide Area Monitoring System/Phasor Measurement Unit, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Intrusion detection in OT/SCADA in power electricity endeavour based on generative learning addresses the core issue of data imbalance in cybersecurity datasets. As cyberthreats and the tactics are becoming increasingly smarter, tabular GAN in network intrusion detection can bolster the cyber defence in the highly complex real-time endeavour.
