Smart Grid Cyber Security Market Scope
Smart grid cybersecurity is a national concern in the electric sector across the globe. It provides protection against cyber threats that affect the users in the smart grid network worldwide. The concern is growing as the power utility sector becomes increasingly exchange of information technology that takes place via communication infrastructure. For instance, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) used critical infrastructure protection (CIP) method for security solutions in securing the grid. Grid modernization is overhauling the energy industry, creating better visualization and control for operators
