Smart grid cyber security vendors: Who scores highest?

Although the market for smart grid cyber security is immature while the larger cyber security market is quite secure, the competitive landscape includes established smart grid specialists, niche players and well-known enterprise security vendors.

According to a new Pike Research report, the vendors best positioned in the rapidly evolving threat management market, a key segment within the larger smart grid cyber security sector, are Industrial Defender, IBM and NitroSecurity.

"Smart grid cyber security remains a new market with an intriguing mix of innovators, control system specialists, and multinational security vendors," said Senior Analyst Bob Lockhart. "There are few enforceable regulations and many utilities have not yet deployed a full security solution. There is much to play for in this market, and success is likely to require a mix of innovation, utility operations knowledge, and financial resources. No one vendor has all of these yet."
