Clark}, title = {Cybersecurity Roadmap for Active Buildings}, abstract = {This work presents a roadmap to guide AB’s cybersecurity efforts, adapting existing mechanisms in enterprise information systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet-of-Things, and Industrial Control Systems. We aim to help power and building managers to understand trade-offs to assess risk, model threats, deploy intrusion detection, or simulate the infrastructure. Our contribution also discusses open research questions with respect to cybersecurity, highlighting needed developments for hardening AB and thwarting attacks.}, year = {2021}, journal = {Springer International Publishing}, month = {2021-08-03}, issn = {1865-3529}, url = {https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-79742-3_9}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-79742-3_9}, note = {Security and safety encompass the proposition of AB and the intertwined nature of P2P energy provision. The AB is defined as buildings that are active energy agents sustaining a nation’s power infrastructure. So, any adversarial incursion against the infrastructure and all that it entails are attacks targeted at AB as well. Under these settings, one must consider the harmful effects that attacks have that could promote undesired load shedding or frequency imbalance, not to mention the consequences to inhabitants and managers. Security, after all, is a trade-off between adhering to requirements and user/customer/stakeholder interaction/experience. Riskier outcomes must be prioritised before unimportant ones as cybersecurity officers continuously assess threats and vulnerabilities.}, }
