    According to European legislation 80% of the electricity meters rolled out to consumers by 2024 are required to be smart meters, as a part of the ‘smart grid’ concept. While the deployment of the electrical ‘smart grid’ infrastructure increases its functionality, at the same time the risk associated with its operation increases i.e. through substantial extension of potential cyberattack surface. Hence the security testing of such solutions as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Smart Meters as well as their security controls must be of the highest standards. The presentation goes through cybersecurity control mechanisms that act as a countermeasure for most common and critical misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in Advanced Metering Infrastructure. Based on recent engagements’ results security research team prioritized, designed and verified efficiency of security capabilities that when introduced to Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Smart Metering project scope and architecture design are able to mitigate risks stemming from overall solution complexity and fragmentation.
