Dear SIP Forum Member,

SMi are pleased to announce its inaugural European Smart Grid Cyber Security
Forum, taking place on the 14th & 15th March 2011 in London. As Governments
and utilities around the world continue to work on the deployment of the
Smart Grid initiative, cyber security issues around such an infrastructure
are now top priority in relation to national security and investment.

In April 2009, reports surfaced that China and Russia had infiltrated the
U.S. electrical grid and left behind software programs that could be used to
disrupt the system, according to current and former national security
officials

Influential players from the European and UK Landscape will look at the
importance of Smart Grid Deployment, and the risks associated with digital
modernized electricity networks, Don’t miss this rare opportunity to
integrate, share insight and help define the landscape of a future industry
estimated to be worth in excess of $3.7 Billion by 2015 (Pike Research).
