Pike Research Releases Report on Smart Grid Cyber Security
While the market for smart grid cyber security is still nascent, the competitive landscape includes established smart grid specialists, niche players, and well-known enterprise security vendors. Paradoxically, although the larger cyber security market is often considered quite mature, this niche—smart grid cyber security – is not mature at all. For the moment, in fact, size and scale actually appear to be somewhat of a disadvantage, and specialist companies have thus far fared well. The ability to react quickly has so far prevailed over the advantages of larger, more established providers. However, that is unlikely to be the case going forward.
According to a new Pike Pulse report published by Pike Research, 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.
