Building the Trusted Smart Grid: Threats, Challenges, and Compliance - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Growing concern over climate change, increasing utility prices and the availability of sustainable energy like solar are driving increased demand for conservation, pricing transparency and cost savings. Smart energy solutions provide real time visibility into consumption and billing data helping consumers to conserve resources, while energy and utility companies are better able to balance production to meet actual demand reducing brown outs and other potential issues. At a time when energy utilities play an increasingly important part of our everyday lives, smart grid technologies introduce new security challenges that must be addressed. In this webinar we will discuss: •The threat landscape •Addressing security challenges in critical infrastructure with cryptography and strong authentication •Compliance with NERC CIP Version 5 •The road ahead
