Patching Power System Software Vulnerability Using CNNVD

Abstract

Both the attractiveness of power systems as targets of cyberattack and their vulnerability to remote attack via digital networks are evident from recent world events. Vulnerabilities in software represent a serious risk for power systems. The number of vulnerabilities is increasing rapidly due to the development of new hacking techniques. In order to reduce threat impact of software vulnerability, companies should use vulnerability management frameworks. Software vulnerability patching is one of the key activities of vulnerability management. This paper proposes a novel software patching mechanism based on CNNVD for power systems. This mechanism can patch power systems software vulnerability quickly.
