Entering the smart grid technology era, all stakeholders - from the utilities end to the consumers end - are urged to address the cyber security challenge coming ahead. In OKIOK's view, just as it has been the case with the financial and banking industry decades ago, the primary phase of a cyber security plan shall be tactical, and aim to execute security audits, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing - to address immediate risks of security breaches - then should be completed with an appropriate remediation plan. As we see it, the second phase shall be strategic, and address security needs from upstream, spanning from management frameworks, architecture, processes, and infrastructure, to downstream, i.e. monitoring.
As a result of 30 years of extensive R&D, and implementation efforts carried with partnering engineering schools and global IT solution providers, we have come up with the most mature, best-in-class model in North-America. Our cyber-security model addresses both tactical and strategic phases from the software, hardware and systemic perspectives.
Although our universal and proven information security model was originally developed for the banking and financial industries, it is our conviction that it shall successfully apply in the Smart Grid industry. It is our vision that the Smart Grid utilities, equipment builders, and software vendors will adopt it in a relatively short timeframe, in order to gain the same level of information security maturity as other industries took decades to gain. It is our mission to partner with you, thus ensuring that you are just a step away from making your smart grid initiative secure.
