Question 1 of 30
Considering a sudden mandate from the national energy regulatory commission requiring immediate anonymization of all granular customer energy consumption data and imposing significant fines for any breaches of privacy, how should a Cisco Connected Grid engineer prioritize and adapt their existing network architecture and data handling protocols to ensure compliance while minimizing disruption to grid operations and data analytics capabilities?
Implement a phased rollout of data anonymization techniques at the edge and aggregation points, coupled with enhanced access controls and a review of data retention policies, while concurrently developing alternative analytics models that can function with aggregated and anonymized datasets.
Immediately halt all data collection from smart meters and smart grid devices until a complete system overhaul can be completed, thereby guaranteeing full compliance but potentially disrupting real-time grid monitoring and control.
Focus solely on encrypting all customer data in transit and at rest, assuming that encryption alone satisfies the new privacy mandates and avoiding any changes to data processing logic or analytics frameworks.
Lobby the regulatory commission for an extension, citing the complexity of the grid infrastructure and the time required for a full architectural redesign, while continuing current data handling practices until a solution is approved.
