Securing the End-to-End Smart Grid Ecosystem
In the year since Stuxnet first struck, cyber security has become of critical concern for utilities. Securing the emerging smart grid must be an end-to-end, architectural undertaking built into all facets of IT, OT, ICS, communications and infrastructure. Introducing intelligence and two-way communication into the utility network means opening the door to vulnerability, and utilities must proceed with caution.
Organized by The Smart Grid Observer, the Smart Grid Cyber Security Virtual Summit on Thursday, February 2, 2012 featured a series of in-depth presentations designed to examine the very latest technologies, deployment strategies, best practices, and lessons learned in making smart grid security a reality. Critical questions addressed included:
- Where are the most significant weak points in the smart grid's security? How should we address them?
- What is the current nature of the cyber security threat? What do we need to worry about?
- What are the latest NERC CIP requirements and how best to comply?
- What are the key technology enablers and advances for smart grid cyber security?
- What are the best practices and strategies for securing AMI?
- How can utilities effectively go about securing software and embedded devices designed for the smart grid?
If you were not able to attend the event on Feb. 2, you can still purchase the proceedings and receive
full access to on-demand recordings of all the sessions (audo + PowerPoint), as well as downloads of all presentation .PDFs.
