PROOF
OF
CONCEPT
TAKING CHARGE OF
CYBERSECURITY
SMART GRIDS TRULY represent the next frontier
of power distribution. Leveraging advances in
digital communications, this burgeoning
technology holds the potential to revolutionise
electricity distribution, metering, efficiency and
data monitoring at both local and national levels.
A number of pilot smart grid projects are already
up and running around the world. Following the
lead of the worlds first smart grid Telegestore,
established by Enel in Italy, other new projects
are now being set up in the US, Europe, South
Korea and elsewhere.
But as the concept picks up momentum and
seeps further into the public consciousness, a
significant concern has emerged: If we digitise
the electrical grid, are we not also exposing it to
the dangers of hacking and cyber terrorism?
