Description:
TLC Secure Grid is a technology startup, which will apply its unique encryption technology to secure devices and meters for use in the Smart Grid. TLC's unique value is that it alone can provide cohesive security and encryption across the grid, since its technology works with most vendors regardless of protocols or transmission media. TLC’s product is mature, vendor agnostic and US government tested and certified, and it provides the investor opportunistic time-to-market that will allow it to capture substantial market share.
The Smart Grid is an electricity, gas and water, network that can intelligently integrate behaviors and actions of all users connected to it, such as generators and consumers, as well as those that do both. The purpose of the system is to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity supplies. It is a $40 billon market in the U.S. alone, but has cyber security threats to the fragmented security approaches and much vulnerability.
