Is Our Electricity Grade Really Viable?

The us. Power grid consists of more than seven thousand power plants, 55 thousand sub stations and millions of miles of transmission lines at different voltage levels. This technological and organizational complexity combined with the extensive geographic dispersion of the electricity transmission system creates a very wide surface area for siber attack. On december 23, two thousand 15, we had a rare glimpse into the future, the first documented case of a siber attack on an electrical power facility that led to a loss of electricity. The main question i want to ask in this ep sod is, to what extent is the electricity grad really vulnerable?
