The Government requires a highly available, reliable and secure smart metering communications network that supports privacy of consumer data flowing across it. The network must be protected from deliberate attacks, unauthorised use and infection from viruses. As the Smart Grid will be a critical piece of British national infrastructure SmartReach have ensured that security is an integral part of the SmartReach network architecture; not implemented as an add-on solution.

BAE Systems Detica is one of the companies collaborating in SmartReach to ensure smart meter data communications services are secured in a practical, cost effective manner through the use of best-of-breed security controls.
