Attack Detection for Critical Infrastructure in the Energy Sector
"Be a hacker": Attack scenarios on the critical infrastructure of a substation. Think like an attacker – from phishing access to the next step. Detect, analyze, and evaluate with OMICRON's StationGuard IDS, plus insights into vulnerability management.
In this practical presentation, OMICRON & ALSEC demonstrate how real cyberattacks on substations unfold. After a short introduction to the StationGuard IDS and a real rack setup, we take on the role of an attacker – starting with a successful phishing attack. Through several live demos, typical attack paths on IEDs and IEC 61850 networks will be shown: from FTP access and manipulations to GOOSE reinjection and switching command attacks. Detection and analysis are carried out with StationGuard and GridOps Vulnerability Management.
Our event at Speakers Corner will also take place on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM.
