Securing the Smart Grid: Next Generation Power Grid Security (Paperback)

"The first step in securing the Smart Grid is to fully understand the threat landscape. This book provides both a timely and relevant overview of the subject - a must-read for anyone responsible for securing the grid as well as consumers looking to implement the technology!."-- Dr. Patrick Engebretson, Assistant Professor of Computer Security, Dakota State University.

"Easy to read and full of valuable information, this book provides a wide-eyed view of our future and the security challenges we will be facing in our day-to-day lives. Exploring everything from home systems to large-scale power plants, this is a must-read for everyone in our technological society."-- Thomas Wilhelm, ISSMP, CISSP, SCSECA, SCNA, SCSA, IEM, IAM

Smart Grids are the future of energy. By creating networks from power plant to home, utility companies will be able to regulate power consumption making sure that consumers are receiving the amount that is needed, no more or less. While this new use of networking technology and unique applications such as smart meters will help to conserve energy it also opens up a pipeline, that was regulated manually, into the computer world of interconnected networks. The infrastructure that is being built will need to have robust security as an attack on this network could create chaos to tens of thousands of power consumers, stop a utility company in its tracks, or be used in a cyberwar.

Securing the Smart Grid takes a look at grid security today, how it is developing and being deployed into now over 10 million households in the US alone. Direct attacks to smart meters as well as attacks via the networks will be detailed along with suggestions for defense against them. A framework for how security should be implemented throughout this growing system will be included directing security consultants, and system and network architects on how to keep the grid strong against attackers big and small.

「保護智慧電網的第一步是充分了解威脅環境。本書提供了一個及時且相關的概述，對於負責保護電網的人以及希望實施這項技術的消費者來說，這是一本必讀的書籍！」- Dr. Patrick Engebretson, 達科他州立大學電腦安全助理教授。

「易於閱讀且充滿有價值的資訊，本書提供了對我們未來和日常生活中將面臨的安全挑戰的廣泛觀點。從家庭系統到大型發電廠，這是每個生活在科技社會中的人必讀的書籍！」- Thomas Wilhelm, ISSMP, CISSP, SCSECA, SCNA, SCSA, IEM, IAM

智慧電網是能源的未來。通過從發電廠到家庭的網絡建立，公用事業公司將能夠調節能源消耗，確保消費者獲得所需的能量，既不多也不少。雖然這種新的網絡技術和智能電表等獨特應用有助於節約能源，但也打開了一個原本手動調節的管道，進入了互聯網世界的計算機網絡。正在建設的基礎設施需要具有強大的安全性，因為對這個網絡的攻擊可能對數以萬計的用電者造成混亂，使公用事業公司陷入停頓，或被用於網絡戰爭。

《保護智慧電網》對當今的電網安全狀況進行了研究，介紹了它如何在僅僅美國就有超過1000萬家庭中得到發展和部署。將詳細介紹對智能電表的直接攻擊以及通過網絡進行的攻擊，並提出對抗它們的建議。還將包括一個在這個不斷發展的系統中如何實施安全的框架，指導安全顧問、系統和網絡架構師如何保持電網對抗大小攻擊者的強大。
