Abstract
The power grid is a critical infrastructure that plays a vital role in modern
society. Its availability is of utmost importance, as a loss can endanger human
lives. However, with the increasing digitalization of the power grid, it also
becomes vulnerable to new cyberattacks that can compromise its availability. To
counter these threats, intrusion detection systems are developed and deployed
to detect cyberattacks targeting the power grid. Among intrusion detection
systems, anomaly detection models based on machine learning have shown
potential in detecting unknown attack vectors. However, the scarcity of data
for training these models remains a challenge due to confidentiality concerns.
To overcome this challenge, this study proposes a model for generating
synthetic data of multi-stage cyber attacks in the power grid, using attack
trees to model the attacker's sequence of steps and a game-theoretic approach
to incorporate the defender's actions. This model aims to create diverse attack
data on which machine learning algorithms can be trained.
