SPEAR: Secure and PrivatE smArt gRid

Cyberattacks are sophisticated, targeted, and multi-faceted threats. As society becomes increasingly dependent on critical infrastructures, such as the Smart Grid, the need for advanced technologies to detect and respond to these attacks is crucial. The Smart Grid, hailed as the next-generation power system offering self-healing capabilities and efficiency, is particularly vulnerable. The collapse of an energy production utility due to a cyberattack not only jeopardises human lives but also results in substantial financial losses, energy deprivation, and prolonged recovery periods. In this context, the EU-funded SPEAR project aims to revolutionise the detection and response capabilities against cyberattacks. By leveraging new technologies and advanced forensics, it seeks to detect threats and anomalies in real-time.
