 ---------\n\nAbstract\n\nAdvancements in artificial intelligence and infor
 mation technologies are transforming operational methodologies in distribu
 ted power systems\, significantly enhancing the resilience of networked mi
 crogrids (NMGs). However\, the increasing integration of cyber-physical in
 frastructures has also introduced new vulnerabilities and risks.\n\nThis p
 resentation explores cyber-secure operational frameworks for NMGs within m
 odern power grids. It introduces a taxonomy of cyber vulnerabilities and a
 nalyzes the operational impacts of cyber incidents. The discussion highlig
 hts the role of cyber-physical coordination in improving grid resilience a
 nd examines the application of advanced technologies—including software-
 defined networking\, blockchain\, artificial intelligence\, and quantum co
 mputing—for secure and efficient NMG control.\n\nA layered “defense-in
 -depth” framework is proposed\, distributing resilience measures across 
 multiple levels: sensing\, local control\, distributed energy resources (D
 ERs)\, aggregated multi-DER coordination\, subsystem microgrid control\, a
 nd system-level coordination.\n\nIllustrative case studies will demonstrat
 e cyber-secure NMG operations\, including:\n\n- Cyber-physical contingency
 -based risk assessment\n- Real-time co-simulation testbeds\n- Human factor
 s in cybersecurity analysis\n- Integration pathways for emerging technolog
 ies\n\nThese examples highlight strategies to enhance power system resilie
 nce\, adaptability\, and operational flexibility in the face of evolving c
 yber-physical challenges.\n\nRoom: EC 3930\, Bldg: EC\, 10555 W Flagler St
