SIM-X Operational Emergencies with Simulated Cyber/Physical Attacks

SIM-X is an innovative and unique training opportunity for NERC-Certified operators including support staff, generator and substation operators, as well as IT and Cyber Security workers. During the 2-day event, operators remotely login to the class and the simulation, allowing participation from any time-zone, and allowing for cross-discipline training opportunities. Recent cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure systems of electric power, petroleum, natural gas, and water are raising concern across utility systems worldwide. From the cyber-attack in Ukraine 2015, to the most recent ransomware attack on a Colonial gasoline pipeline on the US East Coast, the frequency and severity of these attacks is only increasing. Organizations are compelled to prepare these attacks and invest in the resources to defend against cyber threat actors.

SIM-X is an opportunity to participate in realistic drills, similar to the annual Mojave Viper exercises conducted by the US Military, by taking on the roles of both attacker and defender. During these simulations, system operators are encouraged to find vulnerabilities in critical systems or infrastructure. Cyber defenders and other class participants get the opportunity to see how those vulnerabilities can be utilized to cause real, lasting harm to the system. Using that knowledge, participants can evaluate their own systems and determine how to harden defenses in their own organization.
