Regulatory Compliance is the Main Investment Driver
Critical infrastructure industries are increasingly expanding into the digital and smart frontier, become more vulnerable to advanced and persistent cyberattacks. This research service examines emerging trends and business models in the US power industry - from generation to transmission and distribution - that will affect the cybersecurity market. It was developed based on a series of Frost & Sullivan-moderated online discussion boards with participants in the power, chemicals and petrochemicals, and oil and gas industries. The study examines the current state of cybersecurity preparedness, as well as best practices, unmet needs, and industry challenges.
Key Questions this Study will Answer
- What are the current states of awareness and concern regarding cybersecurity in the US power industry?
- What are some of the critical challenges facing the industry regarding awareness and adoption, and how are those challenges being addressed?
- How can vendors optimize their support role in executing a cybersecurity strategy?
- What new business models are emerging from the evolution of smart grids?
- What are the best practices related to cybersecurity in the power industry?
