Investments in smart meters and smart grid equipment continue to rise worldwide as countries strive to make their electricity supply systems more efficient. However, despite the critical importance of electricity infrastructure, it is often unprotected and therefore vulnerable to attacks. This article describes the concept of lifecycle security, which is the idea that smart grid equipment should incorporate security designed to last throughout its entire lifecycle, including for subcontractors. It also discusses lifecycle security aspects for smart grid equipment, analyzing potential threats and solutions to mitigate the risks they pose.
