ABB, a Swiss-Swedish engineering giant, has also developed brainy software that tracks grid flows several times a second and feeds the information to control systems that can respond within a minute or so.
For example, there are 189 ISO standards for information security, our National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST) has produced a full set of world-class materials on information security, and the Information Systems Audit and Control Association ( ISACA) has developed its best practices, the Control Objectives for Information Technology ( CobiT).
