Title

AI Methods for Intrusion Detection in Power Grid Systems

Description

Create a neural network with an AI agent that classifies cyberattacks targeting power grid systems, based on existing datasets. Create a program that works as a firewall-like wrapper to detect and prevent intrusions, using the created neural network within a simulated power grid environment. Evaluate the systems performance in terms of detection, accuracy and adversarial attack resistance.
