Are smart meters secure from hackers?
CenterPoint Energy is applying security best practices to protect our information networks and the electric grid to maximize the security of our smart meter deployment, supported by the experience and expertise of our vendors, IBM, GE, and Itron. We maintain a comprehensive cyber security and risk mitigation program based on national standards followed by other leading companies in the energy, defense, and financial industries. While actively monitoring the security of our systems, we also employ multiple third party vendors to audit our security practices and test the protection of our systems on a regular basis.
