Abstract

Smart grids is now part of a wider smart energy concepts that includes not only the provisioning of intelligences to the power grid by an ICT solution, but also management of smart buildings, the monitoring and analysis of user’s information, user’s devices, environmental parameters and others. In these kind of Internet of Things (IoT) systems it needs to protect information based value across all the layers providing security and resilience. In this paper we present a security assessment of software architecture deployed in the Cloud to provide data management for these kind of services in the CoSSMic project.
