Smart Grid: Utilities to Invest $21 Billion in Smart Grid Cyber Security by 2015

Title	Utilities to Invest $21 Billion in Smart Grid Cyber Security by 2015
Description	As utilities around the world have initiated major smart grid infrastructure upgrades over the past several years, cyber security has become a critical priority. Security measures are designed to protect the electrical grid from attacks by terrorists and hackers, as well as strengthening its resilience against natural disasters and inadvertent threats such as equipment failures and user errors. According to a new report from Pike Research, the intense focus on smart grid cyber security from utilities, infrastructure vendors, standards bodies, and world governments is spurring a surge in revenue growth, and the cleantech market intelligence firm forecasts that the sector will increase from $1.2 billion in 2009 to $3.7 billion by 2015.

A Working Solution to Smart Grid with Security

We already have the technology and a viable solution to secure the grid, asset tracking and communications. We have developed this techonology over the past 6 years and currently the DOD version is already being deployed throughout the world. We have developed a commercial version which will can be configured to any security standard including NSA and DOD standards. We have NSA 1 rating and DOD endorsements for this techonlogy.

We are working on smart secure city and true wireless networks for cities, local city and state governments as well as utilities, oil and gas, transportation and any other industry that is looking for secure or new ways of tracking inventory and assets.

this technology is already here... this is not a sales message I'm just saying the technology already exists.

Smart Grid: The Tuesday Topic - Smart Grid News - Grid Modernization and the Smart Grid

THE TUESDAY TOPIC

Is the smart grid industry stalled? Or accelerating?

We're getting mixed signals about the vitality of the smart grid market. On the one hand, the recent DistribuTECH conference was one of the most successful ever. On the other, a well-known Wall Street analyst recently told his clients that the smart metering sector is "facing several headwinds," including weak regulatory support in the U.S. and delays in European adoption. Taking the pulse of the smart grid industry is this week's Tuesday Topic.
