Brian Foster, senior advisor for grid security at Southern California Edison, joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss his presentation delivered at the S4 Conference on the risks of a hyperconnected grid. Adding a Wi-Fi connection to vulnerable smart meters that are enrolled by customers on a massive scale may allow attackers able to compromise centralized command and control of these devices to issue commands at scale that could result in catastrophic damage.
