Cyber Resilient Energy Delivery Consortium (CREDC)

CREDC performs multidisciplinary R&D in support of the Energy Sector Control Systems Working Group’s Roadmap of resilient Energy Delivery Systems (EDS) that focuses on the cybersecurity of EDS. CREDC addresses the cybersecurity of power grids and oil & gas refinery and pipeline operations, which has been the subject of legislation, standards, and executive actions.

There is growing awareness that the industry must move to ensure that EDS sustain critical functions in the presence of disruptive events arising from cyberattacks and misconfigurations, and to rapidly recover from disruptions to full functionality.

CREDC conducts a number of research activities that address multiple Roadmap elements at a variety of Technology Readiness Levels. The central project goal is to create a research and development ecosystem where research results lead directly to development of applications and methodologies which are then validated in realistic contexts.
