DESCRIPTION
Today, there is a flood of data pouring into Utilities. From AMI data coming into MDM systems to trading system data, to grid management data, this sea of information makes it easy to lose sight of threats to the core business. Combining this with the additional threat intelligence information necessary to protect your business and the scope of the data problem can quickly become overwhelming. Learn how utility customers are applying event correlation to their AMI events, threat intelligence feeds, and Customer Service System events to protect against security threats, while improving business operations, and reducing costs. Additionally, learn about the fascinating future plans that utility customers have for event correlation such as: Pushing physical security event correlation beyond meter tampering and into video camera control and integration Correlating micro-earthquake data with meter tilt tamper events to eliminate false positive security alerts Measuring voltages across meters and the associated transformer to identify theft and meter tampering It’s an exciting time of transformation in the Utilities industry and event correlation can help drive efficiency, visibility, and security in your business.

Of the 46M Smart Meters currently deployed in the US...
...three utilities are responsible for nearly a third of installed meters.
HP Enterprise Security is a key partner to 2 of these top 3 utilities.

The Data Deluge
A small municipal electric utility in Lakeland, Florida went from collecting 122,000 data points per month prior to their Smart Meter implementation to 90 Million data points per month following implementation…
...a 73,000% increase!

Case Study
HP technology is currently used to run a Security Operations Center (SOC) for a very large smart meter implementation.
Correlating and tracking events around:• Power outage event correlation• Meter failures and tampering
Allowing event-driven integration with internal systems to reduce technician dispatch

Using the tools effectively
All of this is accomplished with ArcSight:
• HP ArcSight Connector Appliance • HP ArcSight Logger• HP ArcSight Enterprise Security
Management (ESM)
