Sessions
Did you know that communication networks play a critical role in the power grids reliability and safety? In this session, we will look at the power grid from a bird’s eye view, highlighting its key components: generation, transmission, distribution, and consumers. Each area is interconnected through various networks, which play a crucial role in the efficient operation of the power grid. We will then focus on the devices that are essential for safeguarding the power grid and communicating critical information to other devices and SCADA systems. To bring these concepts to life, we will walk through a real customer issue and highlight the critical role Wireshark played in troubleshooting and determining root cause.
