Session title: Protection of Smart Utility Grids Group edited strategy

Three opportunities 1.Integration of dispersed generation sources 2.European target 2022 for complete smart metering household coverage. –Differing requirements between Network Operator, Supplier 3.Move from closed SCADA system to one which is more integrated

Future technologies required Next generation of smart meters and standardisation Application of defense technologies in this area Authentication, advanced access control technologies

Practical steps required by research organisations Advanced research into next generation smart meters and standardisation Further research into the mitigation of realistic threat scenarios and enablement of rapid recovery from network outages Research into SCADA attack vectors to ensure first that the system can be recovered and second that the attack surface is closed to prevent future attacks.
