A couple of utilities focused articles hit recently - one proclaiming that utilities are upping security, the other claiming they are behind and even negligent.

Computerworld looks at the new reliability standards, which include cybersecurity controls, and the impact on spending in “New reliability rules put a charge in IT spending by utilities”. Good overview/updates on utility security progress.

VNUNET’s article is less helpful. The article “Utility firms sitting on hacking time bomb” is long on FUD and short on data. Take with a big grain of salt.
