Overview
The energy sector faces growing cyberattack threats, requiring rapid recovery solutions to maintain operational stability. Traditional disaster recovery in substation automation systems takes 2-4 weeks, leaving critical infrastructure vulnerable. This project automates Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system recovery using a prototype GUI combined with Ansible-based Infrastructure as Code (IaC) playbooks, reducing recovery time from weeks to hours while minimizing manual intervention.
The project integrates automated infrastructure deployment and real-time configuration management into substation environments, which is a novel approach in a domain dominated by legacy systems and manual processes. By transitioning to automated recovery mechanisms, it introduces agility and resilience while significantly reducing time, cost, and operational risk.
