"…it’s a thorough overview of both the problem of smart grid security and what you need to do to address it. And it’s not presented in some abstracted, high-level policy fashion – after reading this book, you will have a proper understanding of the work that needs to be done." --Network Security Newsletter, October 2013"Computer security professionals Knapp and Samani warn that the smart electrical grid now being planned and designed will be vulnerable to attack." --Reference & Research Book News, October 2013"…looking for a detailed and technical introduction to smart grid security and a synopsis of the security and privacy issues, Applied Cyber Security and the Smart Grid: Implementing Security Controls into the Modern Power Infrastructure is a great place to start." --RSAConference.com, April 8, 2013
