Why This Project Matters
Modern energy infrastructure increasingly relies on connected devices, digital monitoring, and remote-control systems. These technologies improve operational efficiency and support the clean-energy transition, but require coordinated cyber defense across bilateral grids.
What We're Doing
Like fire drills for cyberattacks — we test, simulate, and practice cross-border responses before real crises strike.
Incident Response Playbooks
Standard operating procedures and automated containment runbooks for utility SOC operators to isolate compromised distributed energy resources.
Cyber Range Tabletop Drills
Bilateral red-team/blue-team simulation exercises and AI-enabled threat detection drills across Australian and Indian hardware testbeds.
Standards & Policy Guidance
Publishing collaborative white papers, 4 media briefs, and submissions to international industrial automation cybersecurity standards (IEC 62443).
Upcoming Workshops
Hands-on technical symposiums convening energy researchers, transmission engineers, and cybersecurity practitioners.
India Workshop: Cyber Resilience and Incident Response
Two-day bilateral technical convening focusing on transitioning grids, digital energy stacks, and decentralized cyber resilience. By Registration (Open to all, ~90 participants).
Australia Workshop: Incident Drills & Playbooks
Focusing on operational red/blue tabletop drills, emergency microgrid islanding validation, and presentation of policy white papers. Program details finalized late 2026.
