HAZARDS AROUND

While working live in the energized grid, presence of voltage around the workers requires special attention. However, live-line (live working) techniques are widely applied for decades, several accidents in the past prove that the level of safety must be improved to minimize the number and seriousness of injuries in the future.
In the high voltage grid, bare-hand method is a common technique for safe live work. In the surroundings of any energized equipment,...

Zero-Trust Security: Securing Electrical Protection

The ever-increasing reliance on interconnected electrical protection systems necessitates a robust cybersecurity posture. Traditional perimeter-based security models, which rely on strong external defenses, have proven insufficient against sophisticated cyberattacks. Zero-trust security offers a new paradigm for securing electrical protection systems by emphasizing continuous verification and least privilege access control.This article explores the principles of zero-trust security and its application in securing electrical protection systems to minimize attack surfaces and prevent lateral movement within networks.

Understanding Zero-Trust Security

Zero-trust is a security model that operates on the principle of "never trust, always verify." Unlike traditional security models that enforce stringent defenses at the perimeter but assume trust within, zero-trust treats all users, devices, and network flows as potentially hostile, requiring verification at every stage of digital interaction.

Core Principles of Zero-Trust

  • Least Privilege Access: Granting users and devices the minimum level of access necessary to perform...
