Summary

Cyberattacks target Industrial Control Systems (ICS), also known as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, because they are a vital part of operational technology (OT) in many critical infrastructure domains. Electricity is one of the most essential needs and the foundation of modern living facilities. Any disruption in the delivery of power, such as severe blackouts, will permanently impact many facets of society. With the use of automated substations and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, technology is advancing to enable remote control and monitoring of the power grid. This lowers the cost of power transition and control, boosts efficiency, and encourages the adoption of smart grid technologies. These technologies open up novel opportunities for local electrical firms to remotely monitor and control their power substations and equipment. While some of these innovations have been employed previously, more facilities are available for power system operation and maintenance in contemporary systems. Evidently, if cyber security in the smart grid is neglected, this possibility could become an imminent danger. Determining vulnerable and secure technology is, therefore, one of the most critical and crucial issues to enhance digital security further and lower the danger of cyber-attacks in the smart grid. As a result, it is important to identify the potential hazards and weaknesses associated with the facilities' equipment and to propose practical solutions for handling such problems.
