Claim One:
1. A power grid information system infrastructure, comprising: a memory for storing instructions and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions, by the processor, when the executed instructions call: a network interface operable to receive data, the received data comprising profile data packets received from and regarding operation of an electricity meter; a processing unit operable to derive a usage profile from the received data; an analysis engine operable to detect an anomaly in the usage profile, wherein the analysis is performed by the analysis engine during system interrupts enabling the analysis engine to execute additional computations even though the processing unit is not executing any code; and a response engine operable to respond or suggest a response to the anomaly; and wherein the response engine performs the selection of a security update and causes the network interface to transmit the security update to the electricity meter for execution by the electricity meter, in response to the analysis engine detecting the anomaly and wherein the anomaly is determined by the analysis engine to be mitigated by the operation of the electricity meter executing a set of instructions comprising the security update; wherein the response engine is further configured to, in response to the anomaly being associated with an existing operational session of at least one component of the power grid information system infrastructure, launch a new operational session and transition the existing operational session to a virtual environment; and wherein the response engine maintains the operation of the anomaly in the virtual environment and performs forensic analysis on the anomaly.
