==Synopsis==

This research explores significant cybersecurity issues for global utilities and offers a
means to address them. It is past time to implement a top-down approach to address
utility cybersecurity.

Key Findings:
*Cybersecurity oversight for utilities at all levels is unclear and requires consolidation and
development.
*Cybersecurity and physical security for utilities are critical, but neither is well-defined
technologically or in policy terms.
*While traditional IT cybersecurity can provide a foundation, utility operations security
does have distinct differences due to environment and requirements.
*Too much discussion about smart-grid security, supervisory control and data acquisition
(SCADA) security, advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) security, or securing
"cyberassets" focuses inordinately on the technical standards and products rather than
on delivering a solution.
