Abstract

The smart grid is the next-generation electrical power system that combines operations technology (OT) and information technology (IT) for the efficient generation, delivery, and consumption of electrical energy. We aim to provide a brief overview of machine to machine (M2M) communication and its history, its application in the smart grid, security issues affecting M2M data on the smart grid, and some available solutions to detect and prevent cyber threats. With the emergence of 5G networks, we also provide an introduction to this evolving technology, how the smart grid will benefit from its deployment, and some security concerns.
