Protecting hydroelectric plants from incidents that adversely impact their cyber-physical systems presents unique challenges due to the plants’ widely dispersed geographic locations and varied configurations as well as the relative nascent nature of the cyberattacks targeting these facilities. To help hydroelectric plants better respond to and mitigate cybersecurity incidents, this Department of Energy Water Power Technologies Office Cyber Response & Recovery Overview document discusses the process of defining how a hydroelectric plant might respond to and recover from an anomalous event. In addition to this product, there are three other products meant to be distributed to a hydroelectric plant to assist in their cyber incident response and recovery. The first, a handy flip book that guides an operator in the midst of a cyber event through the R&R process of the incident and if the event warrants, through an emergency action plan to recover the plant itself. The second, a handy guide of hydroelectric and cyber guidance in responding to the cyber and physical systems within a hydroelelectric plant. And the third is a correlated alignment of the steps an hydroelectric plant operator would take for both a cyber incident as well as an emergency response process if the event rises to a cyber incident affecting the safe and reliable operations of a hydroelectric plant.
