/EINPresswire.com/ We are delighted to invite you to join us for the 2nd Annual European Smart Grid Cyber Security Forum, March 12th and 13th 2012 in London. Last March this event sold out with over 166 attendees and over 55 utilities, gathering for an in depth discussion on the current and future landscape for Smart Grid Cyber Security.

An industry estimated worth in excess of $3.7 Billion by 2015 (Pike Research), the 2012 program has already exceeded expectation with representation from the UK, Europe, The Middle East and the USA. Recently we announced the addition of the Keynote Presentation from the Deputy Director of the Office of Cyber Security and Information Assurance, Mike St John Green, and are confident this year's forum will deliver another unique opportunity for Utilities, Government, Academics and the world's most authoritative solution providers to come together and further define the roadmap to a secure energy infrastructure.

Furthermore, we will be providing two interactive post conference workshops; IOActive's sponsored "Smart Meter Penetration Testing," which sold out in 2011, and is free to attend for registered Utilities*, as well as Hacking Techniques for Embedded Technologies in Association with Riscure.
