Ritish Sood, Vandana Sharma · 2024
The fuse on a rapid surging of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has germinated smart cities, underscoring a new age of connection and perceptiveness in urban infrastructures. On the one hand, this technological enhancement brings out significant security issues for all the IoT devices, including the threat of data breaches. This research investigates the security breaches concerning the Internet of Things devices in smart cities with the prime aim of analyzing the vulnerabilities, potential threats as well as the implication to the ’smart cities’ security infrastructure. The study proposes a holistic assessment of challenges stemming from security breaches in smart city ecosystems. Through ana- lyzing the real-world scenarios and practicing effective mitigation strategies, the research underpins the substantial significance of having IoT device as an instrument to safeguard the smart city infrastructure integrity and reliability. Through the lens of an extensive review of the security breaches that occur from instances of IoT devices within the surroundings of smart cities, this research supplies indispensable viewpoints of the current debate on the security of smart cities. From the synopsis of the evidence coming from numerous research papers with mention of domains such as cyber security, urban planning, and technology implementation, in particular, they could highlight the necessity of not only strong but also solid cybersecurity measures in the digital age. Therefore, this research paper which is entirely based on the growing issues of IoT device security breaches in smart cities can be seen as a pioneering one with the aim of eventually setting up a foundation for better protection of the urban area from further occurrences related to growing technological complications.
