Smart Grid is a power grid system that uses digital communication technologies. By deploying intelligent devices throughout the power grid infrastructure, from power generation to consumption, and enabling communication among them, it revolutionizes the modern power grid industry with increased efficiency, reliability, and availability. However, reliance on information and communication technologies has also made the smart grids exposed to new vulnerabilities and complications that may negatively impact the availability and stability of electricity services, which are vital for people's daily lives.

The purpose of this monograph is to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive survey and tutorial on the cybersecurity aspect of smart grids. The monograph focuses on the sources of the cybersecurity issues, the taxonomy of threats, and the survey of various approaches to overcome or mitigate such threats. It covers the state-of-the-art research results in recent years, along with remaining open challenges.

This monograph can be used both as learning materials for beginners who are embarking on research in this area and as a useful reference for established researchers in this field.
