Abstract : There are numerous difficulties concerning cyber security in the smart grid, and a majority of such challenges faced across devices connected to the grid are in the form of nefarious attacks with the potential aim to tamper with power supplied to any consumer and breach of data respective to PMU and IP camera sensor. So, the best way to prevent such cyber-attack problems is by using security measures such as Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (NIPS) and firewalls equipped with each distributed system integrated into the grid. Many different attacks and prevention methods have been adopted to maintain the grid almost vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Therefore, this work aims to present the component-level cyber-attack analysis of PMU and IP camera sensors when connected to an IEEE 13-node system based on FDI and MitM attack scenarios. The study is simulated, and the results are obtained using GridAttackAnalyzer, a smart grid attack analysis framework.
