1	Cyber-Attack Process and Defense Strategies in Smart Grid Applications Muhammed Zekeriya Gunduz, Resul Das Abstract - A smart grid application includes information technologies intensely and it effectively transmits energy by using bidirectional communication. It also enables joining the green technologies into the system. The vulnerabilities of information and communication technologies expose smart grid systems to many security threats. Therefore many attacks and prominent countermeasures about smart grid applications have been discussed in many survey papers. Generally, these attacks are classified according to the basic security principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability without including accountability. Moreover, suggested countermeasures concentrate on blocking particular attacks or defending specific components. In addition to these specific solutions, using a vast perspective approach to ensure the security of the whole system components provides a holistic solution. In this context, in the study, we review some severe cyber-attacks that could happen in a smart grid application and explain the process of a possible cyber-attack. We also recommend a generic cyber security approach for smart grid applications to detect and prevent the common cyber-attacks.	Download
