Network Integrity Systems Released Information on Fiber Optic Sensing Technology

looking back ten years ago…the Pacific Gas and Electric Power substation was attacked…nearly causing catastrophic damage to the area. Attackers entered the facility undetected….Fast forward to 2022, and similar attacks continue in Oregon, Washington, and North Carolina. However, these attacks have resulted in widespread power outages lasting for days, leading to catastrophic damages. According to NIS, fiber optic sensing technology could have prevented these attacks. Installing NIS’ sensor around the substation’s perimeter would have detected the perimeter breach, which allowed the escalation of the attack….”Not only would the severed cables have resulted in instant alarms, but the mere act of handling the cables to make the cuts would have been detected.” With the implementation of fiber optic sensing technology, attacks made on substations can be neutralized.
