Agenda Cyber security for smart grids Smart Grid cyber security framework FPP project approach on Cyber security Conclusions 19
Learning and Conclusion Cyber security is a critical success factor in bringing smart + grid together successfully The framework recognises that we can re-use some of what we already have in place for IT but also accounts for key differences i.e. field equipment, customer interfaces, availability requirements, etc. The framework ensures that governance is in place across both smart elements and physical assets The framework recognises that smart grid security skills are required in the field as well as in corporate IT.
