Cyber attacks launched by individuals and/or supported by nation states have increased due to the prevalence of information technologies at critical infrastructure of the states. In this chapter, such attacks and consecutive impacts are visited. In connection with this issue, evolution of cyber threats from annoying malware to serious weapons is studied by examples; hence, precautions against such threats are visited and usage of anti-malware applications as prevalent precautions is assessed within the scope. Selected information security standards and strategies of selected states and precautions for cyber security of Turkey are studied. Our findings underline that educated citizens and companies along with public institutions should cooperate to provide a nationwide cyber security. Consequently, it is defended that governments should play an affective role to protect, educate, and guide governmental and private companies and citizens on the cyber security by promoting the cyber security topic in the successive national development plans.

With the introduction of digital instrumentation system, the cyber security threat to nuclear power plants is becoming more and more serious. The existing cyber security standards of nuclear power plants still need to be improved, and the technology practice of defensive strategies is lacking all over the world. In this paper, based on the comparison of domestic and foreign regulations and standards, combined with the technical practice of I&C system overall plan, a defense-in-depth model based on data flow is proposed. The overall technical requirements, hierarchy, network model, cyber security basic requirements, cyber security interface and protection of digital assets are introduced, the application of the model and the direction of research on cyber security of nuclear power plant are prospected.

Cyber Security is generally used as substitute with the terms Information Security and Computer Security. This work involves an introduction to the Cyber Security and history of Cyber Security is also discussed. This also includes Cyber Security that goes beyond the limits of the traditional information security to involve not only the security of information tools but also the other assets, involving the person's own confidential information. In computer security or information security, relation to the human is basically to relate their duty(s) in the security process. In Cyber security, the factor has an added dimension, referring humans as the targets for the cyber-attacks or even becoming the part of the cyber-attack unknowingly. This also involves the details about the cybercriminals and cyber risks going ahead with the classification of the Cybercrimes which is against individual, property, organisation and society. Impacts of security breaches are also discussed. Countermeasures for computer security are discussed along with the Cyber security standards, services, products, consultancy services, governance and strategies. Risk management with the security architecture has also been discussed. Other section involves the regulation and certification controls; recovery and continuity plans and Cyber security skills.

Global DNS infrastructure is a major component for the services exposed in the internet. The purpose of the study is understanding the cyber security status of DNS ecosystem. As part of the research, a statistical analysis based on vulnerability repositories has been created to provide a view toward the level of DNS security in general. It can help organizations to understand, assess and mitigate DNS risks. It's made short review of most used attacks against DNS and mitigation: amplification, reflection, floods, DNS exploits, and analysis for the DNS security incidents trend. The statistics implicitly reflect the degree of adoption of new DNS security standards and technologies.

AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) is the first step of the implementation of the smart grid. The communication network is the important part of AMI. The reasonable communication network architecture and effective cyber security measures are the keys of the realization of AMIs functions. The components, functions and communication network architecture are studied. Communication technologies that can be used in AMI are analyzed. Based on ZigBee, fieldbus/industrial EtherNet and GPRS, a typical AMI are constructed. The cyber security threats, communication data types and cyber security requirement of AMI are analyzed. The cyber security strategy and implementing scheme are offered. The communication standards and cyber security standards that can be referred while constructing AMI are analyzed. The necessity that publishes AMIs communication standard and cyber security is put forward.

In this paper, the cyber-security of smart microgrids is thoroughly discussed. In smart grids, the cyber system and physical process are tightly coupled. Due to the cyber system’s vulnerabilities, any cyber incidents can have economic and physical impacts on their operations. In power electronics-intensive smart microgrids, cyber-attacks can have much more harmful and devastating effects on their operation and stability due to low inertia, especially in islanded operation. In this paper, the cyber–physical systems in smart microgrids are briefly studied. Then, the cyber-attacks on data availability, integrity, and confidentiality are discussed. Since a false data injection (FDI) attack that compromises the data integrity in the cyber/communication network is one of the most challenging threats for smart microgrids, it is investigated in detail in this paper. Such FDI attacks can target state estimation, voltage and frequency control, and smart microgrids’ protection systems. The economic and physical/technical impacts of the FDI attacks on smart microgrids are also reviewed in this paper. The defensive strategies against FDI attacks are classified into protection strategies, in which selected meter measurements are protected, and detection/mitigation strategies, based on either static or dynamic detection. In this paper, implementation examples of FDI attacks’ construction and detection/mitigation in smart microgrids are provided. Samples of recent cyber-security projects in the world, and critical cyber-security standards of smart grids, are presented. Finally, future trends of cyber-security in smart microgrids are discussed.

The convergence of electric power grid with the IP-based communication network has posed many security threats to sustained power supply demands of our ever growing power system. A lot of work is required to find out innovative security solutions for smart grids which meet the stringent requirements of power network but at the same time provide security to the flow of information between the embedded IEDs in the power system. The project will first cover an in depth study of these standards/ guidelines and, security techniques. In the second part of the project, we will examine the implementation of these standards and guidelines on the station level devices like numerical relays, from renowned manufactures. A setup in the lab with a numerical relay and associated software tool will be made, to practically demonstrate the cyber security configurations in a real life situation in a substation.
