The vision of this project is to increase the understanding of vulnerabilities of integrated
control systems and their impact on the electric power transmission and distribution system,
as well as to devise solutions to eliminate or to mitigate these vulnerabilities. The overall
goal is to make the information and control systems robust against attacks and operational
errors. In order to attain this goal, VIKING has formulated four strategic objectives
described below.
Strategic objective 1: Provide a holistic framework for identification and assessment of
vulnerabilities for SCADA systems. The framework should provide computational support
for the prediction of system failure impacts and security risks.

Relation to FP7-ICT-SEC-2007-1, ICT theme objectives: b) specifically “systemic risk
analysis and security configuration and management of critical information
infrastructures...”
Strategic objective 2: Provide a reference model of potential consequences of misbehaving
control systems in the power transmission and distribution network that can be used as a
base for evaluating control system design solutions.

Relation to FP7-ICT-SEC-2007-1, ICT theme objectives: b) specifically “...frameworks for
interconnecting them [information infrastructures] with critical infrastructures”
Strategic objective 3: Develop and demonstrate new technical security and robustness
solutions able to meet the specific operational requirements that are posed on control
systems for our target area.

Relation to FP7-ICT-SEC-2007-1, ICT theme objectives: b) specifically “Designing and
developing secure and resilient networked and distributed information and process control
systems”
Strategic objective 4: Increase the awareness of the dependencies and vulnerabilities of
cyber-physical systems in the power industry.
