Valuing the cyber-attacks budget in high voltage power substations to increase cyber-security; providing a method based on Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process

The level of protection of high voltage power substations depends on the considerations of the electricity company, the level of threats and the value of their assets. On the other hand, the level of countermeasures or defenses for an acceptable level of risk depends on the number of defense equipme...
