Cybersecurity in Smart Cities: Securing IoT and Smart Infrastructure

Abstract

The rapid development of smart cities, which integrate Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart infrastructure, and large-scale data collection, introduces new vulnerabilities and cybersecurity challenges. This paper explores the cybersecurity threats in smart cities, focusing on securing IoT devices, protecting smart infrastructure, and addressing the privacy concerns associated with the vast amounts of data generated. By identifying key risks, current solutions, and future directions, this research emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive cybersecurity approach to ensure the resilience and safety of smart cities.
