Grid Security and Management

Cisco believes that modernization of the energy infrastructure requires comprehensive network management and a security architecture that offers improved integration of diverse digital devices, increased use of sensors, and layers of both physical security and cybersecurity management integrated across all operational aspects of the grid. In addition, an integrated, multi-vendor approach to security that provides critical infrastructure-grade security to grid systems along with compliance reporting is crucial to the increased confidence in and the speedy adoption of IP standards by the utilities.

We invite Smart Grid partners to develop network management and security solutions and services with Cisco.
