February 8, 2012 - (PressReleasePoint) - Utility cyber security is in a state of near chaos Pike Research Q4,2011
Protecting critical national infrastructure from cyber attacks is top of the list of priorities for governments and utilities. Disablement of infrastructure and leakage of data are prime security concerns. However, according to industry analysts the challenges of protecting utility networks are vast and currently Europes utilities are not secure enough.
Securing aging legacy infrastructure that was not designed with todays cyber security threats in mind is a huge challenge. Increased connectivity between traditionally standalone systems, added functionalities and add-on security solutions all introduce new risks. Additionally, the rapid roll out of smart grids creates a host of new risks and exposes new network vulnerabilities that utilities arent prepared for and may not even know exist.
With so few security standards established, utilities are faced with radically overhauling their technical, organizational and cultural processes without benchmarks or guidelines to follow. Selecting the right combination of security measures to implement is a daunting task.
Smart grid Cyber Security will bring together utilities, standardization bodies, cyber security technologists and regulators to discuss best practice guidance in network assurance, risk management and cyber security implementation.
