Cybersecurity threats pose significant risks to the stability and reliability of the power sector's critical infrastructure. Among these threats, the infiltration of embedded malware and trojans into hardware devices presents a particularly insidious challenge. To mitigate these risks effectively, a comprehensive framework is necessary, integrating proactive detection measures with robust response strategies tailored to the unique needs of the power sector. Key components of the framework include regular audits and inspections to identify physical tampering and advanced network monitoring tools for detecting anomalous traffic patterns indicative of malicious activity. Behavioral analysis techniques are employed to monitor device behavior for deviations from expected norms, while firmware integrity checks and supply chain security measures enhance detection capabilities.Implementing this holistic approach, stakeholders within the power sector can fortify their cybersecurity posture, proactively identifying and mitigating embedded threats in hardware devices to safeguard critical infrastructure and maintain uninterrupted service delivery.
