In North America, a Canadian security expert has warned that the country’s utilities are not doing enough to secure their supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.
Former assistant director of intelligence at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Ray Boisvert said SCADA technology – which is essential to smart grid decision making – in both Canada and the US are vulnerable to cyber attack, reports IT World Canada.
