Blackout and its Impact on Cybersecurity in Times of War: Analysis and Countermeasures

Масові відключення електропостачання та їх вплив на кібербезпеку в умовах війни: аналіз та заходи протидії

12.10.2023
In the current context of military conflicts, particularly during the Russian-Ukrainian war, we are facing difficulties related not only to threats to physical security but also to new challenges in the field of cybersecurity. One of the most severe aspects of these challenges is the massive power outages caused by Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure, particularly on the energy system's generating and distribution capacities.
The risks related to such outages cover not only the issues of uninterrupted functioning of the economy directly but also more complex aspects related to cybersecurity. We have considered the impact of such outages on the cybersecurity of information and communication systems, namely second-order effects, such as interruptions in information visibility, disruption of the integrity of the security infrastructure, and overloading monitoring and response teams with false alarms. 
Analysing Hidden Cybersecurity Risks
One of the critical tasks in combating these threats is to analyze the hidden cybersecurity risks that arise during massive power outages. This analysis helps to identify potential vulnerabilities and develop countermeasures.
Possible Approaches to Risk Management
Massive power outages caused by military conflicts have a severe impact on cybersecurity. Risk analysis, enhanced response strategies and skills, and risk-based infrastructure rebuilding are critical components of successfully addressing these challenges. We must always be prepared for new scenarios and look for innovative solutions to ensure the security of our information systems in the most unpredictable circumstances.
