Seeking Collaborators

 

Do you want to help shape the design, development, and impact of CyPSA while assessing the operational impact of security policies for your organization?

What CyPSA Does — Contingency analysis and ranking of critical paths.
CyPSA ranks the most critical cyber devices and paths to relays from a standpoint of both operational reliability (power flow analysis) and cyber security (maps the network using NP-View and queries the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) to assign weights to calculate path costs). We call this cyber-physical contingency analysis. CyPSA helps you view, manage, and analyze the cyber-physical information about your system, providing situational awareness.

What CyPSA Needs — Cyber-Physical Toplogies: What’s Really Out There?
We are seeking utility partners to be early users of CyPSA to help validate our analysis and develop the next stage of our toolset. The CyPSA tool can be run on-site, so there is no need for your data to leave your organization. Please contact us for more information.

CyPSA is currently compatible with the following software:

  1. PowerWorld software (http://www.powerworld.com/)
  2. NP-View software (http://www.network-perception.com/)

Interested? Contact Kate Davis at krogers6@illinois.edu.
