Zero Trust Network Architecture implementation is gaining popularity in the ICT sector to defend and deter cyber threats or cyber crime. Considering the architecture’s ability, it is unlikely that a single compromised endpoint in the zero-trust networks could spread laterally, infecting the whole network.This provides us with the ability to adopt the architecture in the energy sector. The popularity of the distributed generators helps us beself-reliant on the power and enables a consumer to supply the power to the grid. The pool of these small generators constitutes a virtual power plant. With this arrangement, its network is also exposed to security challenges. Protecting these physical systems, data protection, and information privacy becomes critical. Motivated by this convergence, this paper aims to present a comprehensive Zero trust security architecture to help reduce the risks and help secure the physical systems and ensure privacy and data protection.

增强零信任网络架构以增强虚拟发电厂的安全性

零信任网络架构的实施在信息通信技术领域越来越受欢迎，以防御和阻止网络威胁或网络犯罪。考虑到该架构的能力，零信任网络中的单个受损端点不太可能横向传播，感染整个网络。这为我们提供了在能源领域采用该架构的能力。分布式发电机的普及帮助我们实现了电力自力更生，并使消费者能够向电网供电。这些小型发电机组构成了一个虚拟发电厂。这样的安排，其网络也面临着安全挑战。保护这些物理系统、数据保护和信息隐私变得至关重要。在这种融合的推动下，本文旨在提出一种全面的零信任安全架构，以帮助降低风险、帮助保护物理系统并确保隐私和数据保护。
