Power plants are one of the most vitally important components of modern civilization's infrastructure.
At one time, power plant security only involved physically protecting facilities and generating equipment.
The computerization of the industry has made it exponentially more challenging to maintain power plant security.

Protecting the power generating infrastructure from this danger entails implementing advanced security methods and strengthening those already in place.
Multiple layers of defense are required to fully address power plant security vulnerabilities.
