Securing the Smart Grid by Tony Flick Book PDF Summary
Smart Grids are the future of energy. By creating networks from power plant to home, utility companies will be able to regulate power consumption, making sure that consumers are receiving the amount that is needed, no more or less, While this new use of networking technology and unique devices such as Smart Meters will help to conserve energy, it also opens up a pipeline that was once regulated manually into the world of interconnected networks. The infrastructure that is being built will need to have robust security controls in place. An attack on this network could create chaos for tens of thousands of power consumers, stop a utility company in its tracks, or be used in a cyberwar. --
