Cybersecurity Standards Applicable to the Electricity Sector

Abstract

To comprehensively address the cybersecurity challenges in the transforming electricity sector, standardised solutions should be used in the first place. This chapter aims at presenting all relevant standards that can be useful for that purpose. The publications were elicited based on a systematic literature review. They are categorised into four categories related to cybersecurity controls, requirements, assessment methods and privacy issues. Six most established documents are described in more detail. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the areas where further improvements would be desirable. The status of the adoption of standards in the electricity sector is presented.
