Izinzuzo kanye Nobungozi Bamamitha Ahlakaniphile: Ukubhekisisa Kahle Amamitha Kagesi Akhokhelwa Ngaphambili kanye Nezingozi Zokugenca
Amamitha ahlakaniphile avele njengesixazululo sezobuchwepheshe sokuqapha nokuphatha ukusetshenziswa kwamandla. Lezi zixhobo ezithuthukisiwe, ezaziwa nangokuthi amamitha kagesi, zenza izinguquko endleleni ugesi okalwa futhi ukhokhiswe ngayo. Phakathi kwezinhlobo ezahlukene zamamitha ahlakaniphile atholakala emakethe, imitha ekhokhelwa kusengaphambili igqama njengenketho ethandwayo ngenxa yezici zayo ezihlukile ezifana nekhiphedi ye-Smartdef kanye nekhono lokusebenzisa amathokheni akhokhelwa ngaphambili edijithali.
Imitha ekhokhelwa ngaphambili, ebizwa nangokuthi imitha yokukhokha kusengaphambili yesigaba esisodwa noma imitha kagesi yedijithali, isebenza ngomgomo olula - abathengi bakhokhela ugesi ngaphambi kokuwusebenzisa. Lolu hlelo luhlinzeka abasebenzisi ngokulawula okukhulu ekusetshenzisweni kwamandla nasekusebenziseni imali. Ngokusebenzisa ikhiphedi ye-Smartdef, abathengi bangakwazi ukugcwalisa kalula ibhalansi yabo kagesi ngokuthenga amathokheni akhokhelwa kusengaphambili futhi bawafake kumitha. Le nqubo elula iqeda isidingo sokufundwa kwamamitha mathupha, ukulinganiswa kwezikweletu, kanye nezikweletu ezikhuphukile ezingalindelekile.
Izinzuzo zamamitha akhokhelwe zidlulela ngale kokulawulwa kwezimali. Lawa mamitha ahlakaniphile akhuthaza ukongiwa kwamandla ngokuqwashisa ngamaphethini okusetshenziswa. Abasebenzisi bangaqapha ngenkuthalo futhi balawule ukusetshenziswa kwabo kukagesi, okubavumela ukuthi benze izinqumo ezinolwazi ngesikhathi sangempela. Ukwengeza, amamitha akhokhelwa kusengaphambili ahlinzeka ngokuhlukaniswa okuningiliziwe kokusetshenziswa kwamandla, okuvumela abasebenzisi ukuthi bakhombe izinto zikagesi ezidla amandla amaningi noma amadivayisi. Ngokuqonda indlela abasebenzisa ngayo amandla, abathengi bayakhuthazeka ukuthi basebenzise izinqubo zokonga amandla, okuholela ekunciphiseni ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kanye nokuncipha kwekhabhoni.
Kodwa-ke, njenganoma yikuphi ukuqanjwa okusha kwezobuchwepheshe, amamitha ahlakaniphile ethula ubungozi kanye nezingozi ezingaba khona. Igama elithi "hack smart meter" liphakamisa ukuthi lawa madivaysi awagonyiwe ekufinyeleleni okungagunyaziwe noma ukuphazamisa. Abaduni bangase bazame ukufinyelela kusistimu yemitha ehlakaniphile, basebenzise izilinganiso zamandla noma baphazamise ukusebenza kwayo. Lokhu kubangela ukukhathazeka mayelana nobumfihlo nokuphepha kwabathengi.
Ukubhekana nalokhu kukhathazeka, abakhiqizi bamamitha ahlakaniphile basebenzisa izinyathelo zokuphepha eziqinile. Lokhu kufaka phakathi izivumelwano zokubethela, izindlela zokuqinisekisa, nezibuyekezo ze-firmware ezivamile ukuze kuvikelwe ubuqotho bamamitha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izinkampani ezisetshenziswayo ziqhuba ukucwaninga nokuhlola okuvamile ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuvikeleka nokunemba kwamamitha.
Kubalulekile ukuthi abathengi baqaphele ubungozi obungaba khona futhi bathathe izinyathelo zokuvikela ukuvikela amamitha abo ahlakaniphile. Izinyathelo ezilula, ezifana nokushintsha njalo amaphasiwedi amisiwe, ukugcina i-firmware isesikhathini, nokuqapha ukusetshenziswa kukagesi, kunganciphisa kakhulu ubungozi bokufinyelela okungagunyaziwe noma ukukhohlisa.
Sengiphetha, amamitha ahlakaniphile, okuhlanganisa amamitha akhokhelwa kusengaphambili anezici ezifana nekhiphedi ye-Smartdef, anikeza izinzuzo eziningi kubo bobabili abathengi nezinkampani zezinsiza. Zinika amandla abathengi ngokunikeza ukulawula okungcono kwezezimali kanye nokugqugquzela ukongiwa kwamandla. Kodwa-ke, ubungozi obunamandla obuhlobene namamitha ahlakaniphile, njengezingozi zokugebenga, kugqamisa isidingo sezinyathelo zokuphepha eziqinile kanye nokuqapha kwabathengi. Ngokuhlala unolwazi nangokuthatha izinyathelo zokuvimbela, abathengi bangajabulela izinzuzo zamamitha ahlakaniphile kuyilapho benciphisa ubungozi obungaba khona.
