Thales Helps a Canadian Energy Utility Secure Smart Meters, Increase Resilience, and Reduce Costs
2 PagesA Canadian energy utility transitioned from analog to digital smart meters to enhance service efficiency and resilience for over two million customers. To meet privacy and compliance mandates, it adopted Thales Luna Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) integrated with Cisco Field Network Director (FND). The FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs secured authentication and command processes for millions of Itron smart meters across terrestrial and satellite networks. This deployment improved network resilience, reduced operational costs by minimizing manual inspections and energy theft, and ensured compliance with NERC, PIPEDA, and PCI regulations.
