Protecting sensitive customer and utility data
BY JOHN CHOWDHURY, Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc.
Smart meters, and the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) on which they depend, collect and transport vast amounts of data. While the data provides more precise energy billing, as well as valuable insight into energy demand and usage patterns, consumers expect that utilities will keep that data secure and that their privacy will be protected.
Security and privacy are prerequisites to increased...
