“…Systems to detect intrusions may be implemented to prevent this level of attack as they give alerts when intrusions are executed. Additionally, VPNs are also instrumental in preventing such attacks as they help in creating more layers of security when confidential layers of the company's network are accessed, especially when done through wireless connections [40], [41], [42].…”

In the current technological environment, different entities engage in intricate cyber security approaches in order to counter damages and disruptions in web-based systems. The design of the security protocols relies on the guarantee that attacks are prevented in the web-based systems. Prevention and detection using techniques such as access control tools, encryption and firewalls present limitations in the full protection of web-based systems. Furthermore, despite the sophistication of current systems, there are still shortfalls in high false positive and false negative threat detection rates, which is attributed to poor adaptation by systems and networks to the changing threats and behavior of cyber-criminals. In this perspective, this survey paper discusses the existing cyber-attack detection models, and recommends the cyber-attack detection models and techniques that are appropriate for web-based systems. It is evident that deep learning techniques offer better performance and robustness compared to traditional machine learning techniques and other non-artificial intelligence-based techniques. Deep learning techniques learn and extract features automatically without human intervention and can also handle big and multidimensional data more conventionally than the other techniques.

“…In both approaches, energy demand and supply forecasts from market participants play a vital role in determining the fair energy price for all market participants. Due to the rapid advance of information technology, market participants' energy demand and supply forecasts are automatically generated from their home energy management system (HEMS) [5]. HEMS uses digital technologies to control, monitor, and receive energy data from all smart household appliances [6].…”

Cyber Attacks in Transactive Energy Market-Based Microgrid Systems

Due to the increasing integration of distributed energy generation in the electric grid, transactive energy markets (TEMs) have recently emerged to balance the demand and supply dynamically across the grid. TEM enables peer to peer (P2P) energy trading and brings flexibility by reducing users’ demand in the grid. It also enhances the system’s efficiency and reduces the pressure on electricity networks. However, it is vulnerable to major cyber attacks as users equipped with smart devices are participating autonomously in the energy market, and an extensive amount of information is exchanged through the communication channel. The potential attacks and impacts of those attacks need to be investigated to develop an attack resilient TEM-based power system. Hence, in this paper, our goal is to systematically identify possible cyber attacks associated with a TEM-based power system. In order to achieve this goal, we classify the attacks during the P2P and flexibility schemes of TEM into three main categories. Then, we explore the attacks under each category in detail. We further distinguish the adversary roles of each particular attack and see what benefits will be received by an adversary through each specific attack. Finally, we present the impact of the attacks on the market operation, consumers, and prosumers of the TEM in this paper.

“…This research aims to fill these research gaps by performing a thorough examination of the available literature and comparing it to the present condition of microgrid cybersecurity. We examine the intricacies of distributed energy resources (DER) in microgrids, investigating their setup and the crucial significance of communication technologies for instantaneous monitoring and control [18][19][20]. The incorporation of sustainable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, into microgrids poses distinct problems and possibilities in terms of upholding cybersecurity.…”
