Abstract

In recent years, cloud-based services become very popular. Their market is expanding every day. Security as a service (SECaaS) is a promising area of cloud computing. It offers cost-effective cyber security solutions to client entities. It can be a good option for the smart grid (SG) operations. Cyber security is one of the major challenges for the SG. The SG is an emerging concept of modern power systems. It is an ideal example of a system of complex systems. That is why its management is highly complicated. One of the ways of easing management is to go for 'managed services'. In this paper, we introduce a service architecture that provides security services to the SG. The proposed service architecture aims to deliver customized security solution to the SG operations. It also extends the existing scope of SECaaS.
