The architecture of the smart grid combines the communication grid and physical power grid in a sole huge network. Smart grid has various security threats like cyber-attacks, physical attacks or natural disasters. The mentioned threats can lead to the breach of the user’s privacy, failure of the infrastructure, energy theft, blackouts endanger the safety of the operators among many more. For this reason, there is need to ensure that the smart grid cyber security is adequate to prevent any of these threats. Adequate security will as well ensure that the smart grid operates adequately as it is viewed that is by providing safe, reliable and uninterrupted supply of power to the consumers with a regular flow of end to end information that are all secure. The smart grid environment will ensure that the electric power infrastructure is modern. This is majorly by combining the present functionalities and the future ones with the upgraded requirements to the users

The invention of “smart grid” promises to improve the efficiency and reliability of the power system. As smart grid is turning out to be one of the most promising technologies, its security concerns are becoming more crucial. The grid is susceptible to different types of attacks. This paper will focus on these threats and risks especially relating to cyber security. Cyber security is a vital topic, since the smart grid uses high level of computation like the IT. We will also see cryptography and key management techniques that are required to overcome these attacks. Privacy of consumers is another important security concern that this paper will deal with.
