This book on smart grid security is meant for a broad audience from
managers to technical experts. It highlights security challenges that
are faced in the smart grid as we widely deploy it across the landscape.
It starts with a brief overview of the smart grid and then discusses
some of the reported attacks on the grid. It covers network threats,
cyber physical threats, smart metering threats, as well as privacy
issues in the smart grid. Along with the threats the book discusses the
means to improve smart grid security and the standards that are emerging
in the field. The second part of the book discusses the legal issues in
smart grid implementations, particularly from a privacy (EU data
protection) point of view.
