Artificial Intelligence–Enabled Automation and Cybersecurity for Smart Meters

With the enforcement of carbon abatement policies and push for zero emissions and reduced carbon footprint, network operators are increasingly looking to take data from their energy assets and use algorithms and intelligent modelling to enhance their insight and decision making. "In Asia/Pacific, similar to the global landscape, IDC is seeing more requirements for automation and, in effect, security at endpoints as utilities look to remotely diagnose and debug issues, gather critical consumption insights, and make their systems more energy-efficient, smart, and secure," says Shaily Shah, research manager, IDC Asia/Pacific.
