Cybersecurity and Resilience of Smart Grids: A Review of Threat Landscape, Incidents, and Emerging Solutions

The digital transformation of electric power systems into smart grids has significantly expanded the cybersecurity risk landscape of the energy sector. While advanced sensing, communication, automation, and data-driven control improve efficiency, flexibility, and renewable energy integration, they also introduce complex cyber–physical interdependencies and new vulnerabilities across interconnected technical and organisational domains. This study adopts a scoping review methodology in accordance with PRISMA-ScR to systematically analyse smart grid cybersecurity from an architecture-aware and resilience-oriented perspective. Peer-reviewed scientific literature and authoritative institutional sources are…
