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.
