The study is focused on circumstances in which the attack would be aimed not at a public building or landmark but instead at a power plant or a critical link in the nation's financial network, like a major electrical grid or a computer network hub.
But briefly: Cyber Command was sold to us with images of the scary cyber-things other countries and terrorists could do to our infrastructure — electrical grids, communication networks.
For that reason, Earth observations, science and services, taken together, constitute a critical infrastructure every bit as vital to our well-being as the electrical grid, our communications networks, our sewage systems and our roads and bridges.
In addition to a connection to a country's electrical grid (electrical power distribution network), if applicable, there must be a power plant and infrastructure for the storage and conversion of energy.
Facebook is not merely a "network" for connection, like the old phone network or electrical grid, as if it had no agency, and did not take a piece of every last interaction (or false start) between friends.
The U.S. electrical grid consists of three networks—one in the east, one in the west, and one in Texas.
The generator boom raises even larger questions about the reliability of the nation's electrical grid and the ability of network operators to handle the more severe weather in an age when families are living in larger homes filled with a greater array of electrical devices.
In this paper, real hourly heat-consumption and heat-production cost data for the city of Aarhus, Denmark are used for calculating techno-economic feasibility of coupling the heating network with electrical grid.
Our naval forces need to be ready to defend our submarine cables, exactly as we defend our electrical grid, industrial base and transportation networks.
Cyber-spies and hackers have also penetrated US air traffic control systems, the electrical grid and almost every federal agency network.
