This paper was developed in the framework of the IEC Young Professionals (YP) Programme, whose core objective is to increase the involvement in IEC work of the next generation of IEC experts and leaders, and to encourage their long-term participation in standardization and conformity assessment activities.
As part of the Programme, an IEC Future Leaders industry forum event was organized, bringing together a group of IEC Young Professionals to discuss and share their views on the issue of cyber security in smart grid systems within the larger overall context of security in smart infrastructures. Held on 26-27 March 2018 in Munich, Germany, the event was sponsored by Siemens and moderated by the VDI/VDE Innovation + Technology GmbH research institute. This paper summarizes the discussions of the future leaders at the forum.
