Exploring the Vulnerabilities of IoT in Smart Grid Infrastructure

Desklib provides past papers and solved assignments for students. This presentation analyzes cybersecurity threats in IoT-based smart grids.

 Interaction of devices without
H2H or H2M requirement is
IoT or Internet of Things.
 A technique of preventing
network attack on system
data is Cyber Security.
 A network to supply the
electricity in between smart
devices is Smart Grid.
 IoT existence in Smart grid
causes cyber attacks on it.
INTRODUCTION

 IoT is a Machine-to-Machine
communication.
 Smart grids are the most
critical infrastructure to
implement in IoT.
 IoT in Smart grids let the
smart devices create an
interconnection between
them.
 Various smart grid
components communicate on
a large scale by IoT.
 The real-time calculation can
be noticed using IoT in Smart
devices.
IOT & SMART GRID

 Open nodes are easy to
attack.
 All the nodes cannot be
protected.
 Malware and suspicious
programs enter through
these nodes.
 Taking in of various
smart devices increases
chances of cyber attacks.

CYBER SECURITY CHALLENGES

 Device Attacks:
 Smart grid connected device
is aimed.
 Malware tries to reach other
interconnected device using
the aimed device.
 A Trojan Horse attack.
 A large number of devices
makes it hard to detect theft.
 Data Attacks:
 Illegally editing in data of
smart grid devices is data
attacks.
 Manipulation in smart grid
devices makes them a victim
of cyber attacks.
CLASSIFICATION OF CYBER
CHALLENGES

 Network Attack:
 Malicious programs try to
control main network.
 These processes delay in
that network.
 Sets off million of online
devices.
 Makes smart grid inoperable.
 Privacy Attack:
 Malicious program attack on
user’s private data.
 in smart grid, millions of
devices stay connected.
 That information can be
used for any physical harm
as well.
CLASSIFICATION OF CYBER
CHALLENGES

 Million of attacks daily.
 This presentation
focuses on attacks of IoT
based smart grid
systems.
 IoT technology may
sometimes harm smart
grid system.
 Attacks must be
prevented for
trustworthy access.
