A Michigan Technological University engineer has received funding to develop a system for preventing cyber attacks against electrical substations, according to an article from the Detroit Free Press.
Chee-Wooi Ten has been awarded a $24,000 donation for the project, plus hardware and software worth $210,000, the article says. The funding came from Waterfall Security Solutions, a company based in Rosh Ha’ayin, Israel, which makes a gateway system designed to improve on conventional computer firewalls.
