New threats and security risks are emerging as utilities deploy Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud technologies. Mitigating these risks requires a combination of cybersecurity and physical security, putting a burden on both IT and operational technology (OT) staff.The question for utilities is how they can simplify compliance for IoT-connected grids so they can focus on larger goals like improving reliability and safety, and turning grid data into business value. A recent Forbes Insights ebook, Securing the Smart Grid, sponsored by Intel and Cisco, delves into the modern security landscape for utilities investing in IoT, and explores ways to simplify compliance, mitigate risk and boost reliability.
