Perception of cyber security risk – The Norwegian Advanced Metering Infrastructure

This article was published at the 10th International Conference on Information Systems Security and Privacy (ICISSP 2024)

The Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) has contributed to the further digitalization of the energy sector, but has also increased the complexity and the requirements for specialized knowledge to protect the infrastructure and the delivery of power. With different areas of focus and gaps in knowledge, the work of securing AMI can be challenging. The article aims to provide an overview of the AMI cyber security risk perception as reflected in the research literature on one hand and amongst the stakeholders in the Norwegian energy sector on the other. The findings indicate that there is a gap between these two, both in areas of focus and the understanding of risk. Based on the identified differences, the article proposes solutions to reduce these.
