The power landscape in the United States operates more like a "quilt" than a grid, said Chris Sistrunk, an electrical engineer who serves on FireEye's Mandiant industrial controls system consulting team.
In all, there are more than 8,000 power plants with various owners and operators in the U.S., according to the Department of Energy. Those include traditional electric utilities, but also hydroelectric plants, oil, rewnewable source plants, natural gas, coal and nuclear facilities. Plants have operational equipment that is often run on a series of industrial control systems known as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems, or SCADA. These systems are essentially computers that run substations or power controls, and run a huge variety of operating system software. Some power plants use systems that are decades old. Many of them must be retrofitted to connect to the latest internet-enabled devices.
