Secure Smart Metering
Logica is delivering the security architecture, design 3 and accreditation for the UK’s Defence Information Infrastructure programme – Europe’s largest, most complex infrastructure project.
smart metering will provide the essential information and communication infrastructure to enable the country’s shift to a low carbon economy and underpin its mediumand long-term energy security. If people truly understand and accept the broader, fundamental importance of smart metering, security becomes just one more key consideration in the design of the technology.
We developed an innovative solution for the Dutch police providing two-way communication with community volunteers using text, voice, instant messaging and e-mail.
ACCESSING THE SMART METER INFRASTRUCTURE - MARKET PARTICIPANTS
-
NATURE OF THE RISKS - Smart metering will not only encourage a more intelligent use of energy in homes and businesses, it will also massively increase the volume of data transmitted and handled by utility companies. This wealth of detailed information will allow companies to develop sales proposals that address consumers’ real needs and wants, giving suppliers the opportunity to enter new markets.Taking advantage of these opportunities could entail reassessing existing data security protocols or creating a need for new regulations.

REDUCING THE RISKS - Equally critical in preventing data loss are the business processes around managing access to personal data. From recruitment processes through to delegations of authority, effective corporate governance is vital
