As a critical infrastructure, the electric power grid is vulnerable with respect to malicious physical and cyber attacks. Indeed, the importance of physical and cyber security for smart grids has been highlighted by recent intrusion incidents worldwide. Various types of sensors, instrumentation, information and communications technology (ICT), computational methodologies, and security controls have been developed to enhance the physical and cyber security of the smart grid. In this paper, critical vulnerabilities of a smart grid that can be exploited for physical and cyber intrusions are discussed. A comprehensive survey is conducted on the state‐of‐the‐art research to enhance the physical and cyber security in a smart grid environment. Furthermore, the interdependency of physical and cyber security is illustrated with an intrusion scenario. The emphasis is on the physical and cyber security of power substations. Computer simulation results for a case study are presented.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are traditionally proprietary and well protected. Due to increasing use of commercial/open source technology and communication protocols, there are growing concerns about the associated security threats. SCADA networks are usually employed in critical infrastructure, therefore, not much technical data of the actual systems is accessible to the research community.Most of the researchers simulate the SCADA functioning through development of testbed. Such projects are usually expensive and requiring financial sponsorship. In this paper we present a simple, inexpensive and flexible approach to develop a SCADA testbed utilizing TrueTime, a MATLAB/ Simulink based tool. The paper describes TrueTime simulation blocks, our control system, simulation of Denial of Service (DoS) attack and its effects. The main aim was to assess the effectiveness and suitability of TrueTime for the intended use in the development of a larger scale SCADA testbed. The results shown reflect that TrueTime can be effectively used for the purpose of SCADA network simulations and collection of necessary data for security analysis.
