In this study, computer based central electricity parameter observation and tracking system of energy distribution system at Electrical Education of Gazi University and its security risks have been examined. Determining of security risk due to system vulnerabilities and possibility of unauthorized data access are investigated in respect of information security. In addition, some system security risks are found when unauthorized accesses of Modbus protocol are tested. To avoid detected risks, a firewall is installed to provide secure platform for the system from different open source projects. Finally, some recommendations are outlined to reduce information security risks at energy system.
