A cybersecurity distributed ledger is provided herein for managing, tracking, auditing, and securing assets in a power infrastructure. The cybersecurity distributed ledger may include a blockchain, and may combine with smart contract or smart negotiation technology, such as in a permissioned proof of authority blockchain. The cybersecurity distributed ledger may manage the complete life cycle of a grid asset, from asset requirement and specification, through production, testing, deployment, maintenance, and retirement. The cybersecurity distributed ledger may create an immutable record of the grid asset, which may be audited for regulatory compliance or build or development compliance. Further, the cybersecurity distributed ledger may store unique identifying information for a grid asset, which may be used to detect a security breach or other tampering with a grid asset. The cybersecurity distributed ledger may also track control or ownership of the grid asset, as well as changes or updates to the grid asset.
A method, implemented by one or more computing devices comprising at least one hardware processor and one or more tangible memories coupled to the at least one hardware processor, of securing an electrical grid asset, the method comprising:
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions for causing a computing system to perform a method of securely updating an electrical grid asset, the method comprising:
A system for electrical grid security, the system comprising:
