Abstract

The integration of secure Internet of Things (IoT) cloud services within Smart Grid (SG) applications is critical for safeguarding energy management systems against emerging cyber threats. As the reliance on connected devices increases, the security vulnerabilities also escalate, potentially compromising data integrity and system reliability. This paper proposes a robust security framework designed specifically for IoT cloud services in SGs, incorporating advanced encryption, role-based access control, and real-time anomaly detection. We evaluated the framework's effectiveness through simulations that modeled various attack scenarios, yielding a decrease in data breach incidents and an improvement in response times to unauthorized access attempts. These results underscore the framework's potential to bolster the security posture of SG systems significantly. By addressing the unique challenges posed by IoT integrations, our research paves the way for more resilient energy management solutions, contributing to the advancement of security protocols that can be universally applied across IoT applications.
