The purpose of this paper is to examine cyber security issues related to smart grids (SGs), such as prior cyber-attacks, possible vulnerability issues, and enhanced cyber-security procedures for SGs on a technical and management basis. When designing public policies for SGs, it is important to consider both the motivations and obstacles to cyber protection and socio-economic conditions. Furthermore, the importance of suggested policies is viewed from various perspectives. The present paper provides an assessment of a group of policies specified by various stakeholders as having the potential for developing SG cyber security. The methodology for the formation of such a group of policies includes a perfect examination of global experience and meetings with experts from various fields. Subsequently, such policies are evaluated using a Delphi questionnaire aimed at assessing their advantages in pursuing investment goals for cyber security. The first result is that every policy is considered a positive effect of all goals, different in the priority assigned to each of them. The policies that received the most attention were: “regulatory changes policy to foster innovation in cyber security of SGs,” “regulation of new business models to improve cyber security and detect malicious attacks” and “establish a cyber-security governance strategy.”
