Researchers tie grid intrusion-detection errors to operational cyber-physical costs via decision-focused learning.

The paper proposes an optimization-learning framework that iteratively ties intrusion-detection errors to power-grid operational costs instead of optimizing predictive accuracy separately from operations. Machine-learning mistakes are translated into cyber-physical risk costs. Experiments on the ICS Cyber Attack and Sherlock datasets show improved grid operation costs versus the traditional decoupled approach.

Key facts
  • Framework converts detection errors into grid operational costs
  • Iterative learning loop optimizes cyber-physical risk, not accuracy alone
  • Evaluated on ICS Cyber Attack and Sherlock datasets
  • Reports lower operation costs than decoupled intrusion detection

Power grid cyber-physical security requires intrusion detection methods that account for the operational consequences of detection errors. However, the existing intrusion detection approaches primarily focus on the predictive performance of learning algorithms, while downstream operational costs are often optimized independently, which can lead to inferior operational performance.
