In the rush towards electricity grid modernization, a door of opportunity has been opened. Originally, our electric grid was managed using well-secured manual controls run by on-site teams of engineers working around the clock. As the underlying technologies matured, remote monitoring and control of the electrical grid was implemented using SCADA standards. Today, control mechanisms have migrated to the Internet which many experts believe puts...
