Power grid automation systems using this type of architecture carried high operating costs that power companies found to be inefficient over time (Kuder et al., 2010). Due to this inefficiency, power companies began to integrate the operation of power grid automation systems into public networks. This integration served its…

2. It did not always give a true and correct picture as it was based on factors which were historical in nature. Implementation of half-life.

The M2M ecosystem is not secured by present information security policy (Lake, Milito, Morrow, & Vargheese, 2014). A research gap is present where current security frameworks fail to address needed protections for next generation systems like M2M. Present frameworks do not adequately consider next-generation threats from a system or device that is non-human driven, which weakens countermeasure implementations and security guideline development (Wash, 2010). There is a lack of sufficient…
