Smart Cities with IoT Security Framework: From Vulnerability to Protection

Abstract

IoT is transforming urban landscape of the world, from urban landscape of cities like Barcelona where sensors are already being used to measure everything from noise level to temperature, air quality and traffic flow. India’s growing momentum of this technological revolution is reflected in Government of India’s ambitious plan to develop 100 smart cities nationwide.Nevertheless, intelligent urban environments’ promise of better quality of life and better public services come with a price, cybersecurity. The greater security risks in public spaces are induced by the fact that the attack surface grows because of the integration of IoT devices. Beyond that, research shows that despite the fact that smart city expansion does increase resident satisfaction, they are also huge concerns about cybersecurity risks and how to manage personal data.This article will explore smart city comprehensive security frameworks, through vulnerabilities and security protection strategies. In this article we will explore how urban cities can ensure that their physical infrastructure, and IoT devices, as well as citizen data, remain secure while still helping the urban cities function most efficiently.
