Identifying the Cyber Attack Surface of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure

As AMI is deployed throughout the power grid, identifying the attack surface is a necessary step in achieving cyber security in smart grids and AMI. An important first step to attaining cyber security is to define and illustrate the Cyber Attack Surface with respect to hardware and network configurations, protocols, and software.
