Читать книгу Building an Effective Security Program for Distributed Energy Resources and Systems - Mariana Hentea - Страница 45

 The continuous growth in OT deployment.

 The continuous implementation of IT by the utility to model, monitor, and manage its distribution system.

 An urgent requirement for utilities to integrate their IT and OT networks.
