This post sets out some lines of action that must be followed to deal with a DrDoS cyberattack based on the LDAP protocol; it describes in detail the prevention, identification and response phases that must be undertaken.

In previous articles an introduction was given to the 61850 regulation and the different protocols of which it consists. As explained in those articles, the GOOSE and SV (Sample Values) protocols, included in the standard, use multicast frames. Security is very difficult to implement in this type of frame, but there are a number of measures that make possible to raise the security level.

This post sets out some lines of action that must be followed to deal with a DrDoS cyberattack based on the NTP protocol; it describes in detail the prevention, identification and response phases that must be undertaken.

In recent years we have witnessed the evolution of the electrical grid and the development of new technologies produce what we know today as the smart grid. This evolution continues to this day and the trend seems to point to greater interconnection between end consumers and the grid, which increases possible attack vectors. Over the course of this article, we shall see the security measures that will be used in the electrical grid of the future.
