1 Wrap-Up & Way Forward A Perspective from the Edge of the Smart Grid Eve M. Schooler, PhD Intel s Europe Energy and Sustainability 10/23/2012 1

2 Commentary Sustainability, SmartGrid, Cybersecurity Beyond the Meter Clean-Slate Opportunities Cybersecurity Partnerships 2 GridSec 2012 Intel s / Energy & Sustainability

3 Intel Example: Broader Agenda and Challenges Sustainability, SmartGrid, Cybersecurity Perception is everything - Corporate Responsibility E.g., Largest purchaser of Green Credits (2.5B kwh in 2011) Incent others to care - Employee bonuses tied to energy reduction (Non)Traditional Getting outside comfort zone Datacenter servers and Big Data analytics Processor capability- HW-based Energy Efficiency, HW-based Root of Trust Security services (McAfee, WindRiver) Diverse Community & Collaboration Energy & Sustainability Smart Sensors, Homes, Buildings, Neighborhoods, Cities EV Integration, DC, Grid optimization, Presence inference, Trusted Clouds 3 GridSec 2012 Intel s / Energy & Sustainability

4 The Changing Landscape Proliferation of devices, many mobile Estimated 15B Internet devices by 2015 Many in unmanaged or self-managed nets Average users (vs IT experts) managing Tidal wave of data generated O(Petabytes) in Smart Grid data alone 4 GridSec 2012 Intel s / Energy & Sustainability

5 The Edge Perspective Need an end-to-end cybersecurity architecture that goes beyond the Meter, include devices, face the reality of infrastructureless infrastructure, need for evolvability Make Integrity, Confidentiality, Availability relevant to consumers, bring value to consumers Engage customers not only to care, to participate, but also to turn on S&P, as they now manage growing numbers of devices in their lives Make S&P easy to use and to understand i.e., why data privacy critical Provide default policies that allow Trust in service providers e.g., aggregation of data for anonymity Leverage the data economy - incent users to share high fidelity data 5 GridSec 2012 Intel s / Energy & Sustainability

6 Why Care About Privacy? Electric Vehicle Charging (kw) kilowatts Whole-House Power Usage (kw) a week away? power kilowatts dinner out? 0 Date/Time Time Nocturnal Device Power Usage (kw) CPAP machine for Sleep Apnea Entertainment Device Usage (kw) kilowatts where are the kids? Time 6 GridSec 2012 Intel s / Energy & Sustainability

7 Informed Risk Taking Clean-slate Opportunities? Important to solve SG cybersecurity challenge, but also Opportunity to showcase SG as a concrete example of Internet of Things Opportunity for solutions to look beyond Energy, to amortize cost for RoI Opportunity for SG to offer Internet architects a clean-slate to experiment w/ NextGen ideas More robust, scalable, energy efficient e.g., devices must meet reqs to attach Richly-instrumented monitoring capabilities to supplement traditional anomaly detection, to protect devices and infrastructure Opportunity to enable greater decentralized control, more selfsustaining parts of the grid E.g., Microgrids that balance generation and consumption of resources, also avoid single point of failure, single point of attack 7 GridSec 2012 Intel s / Energy & Sustainability

8 Summary An e2e cybersecurity architecture extending to the edge devices with engaged consumers despite often perimeterless IT manageability Risk Management Informed Risk-taking Pivotal opportunities Success depends on Partnership/Dialog across many aisles Cull best practices from utilities, government, industry, standards communities, academia, and consumers 8 GridSec 2012 Intel s / Energy & Sustainability
