Relevant security technologies need to work within the bandwidth limitations of these systems in order to see broad adoption and they need to account for the varying security profiles of the components within these power systems.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo read more about this grant follow this link: \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/department-energy-awards-georgia-tech-contract-detect-cyber-attacks-utilities\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/department-energy-awards-georgia-tech-contract-detect-cyber-attacks-utilities\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27863","created_gmt":"2014-01-17 13:56:45","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:26:56","author":"Christa Ernst","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"Bifrost","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/department-energy-awards-georgia-tech-contract-detect-cyber-attacks-utilities","dateline":{"date":"2014-01-14T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2014-01-14T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"197261","name":"Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology"}],"categories":[{"id":"153","name":"Computer Science\/Information Technology and Security"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"84191","name":"A.
