The Future of Cyber Security: Examining the Security Challenges and Trends in Smart Technology

Abstract

With the advent of smart technologies, the world is witnessing unprecedented growth in interconnected devices, autonomous systems, and digital infrastructures. However, this ubiquitous connectivity also raises major cybersecurity issues. This study provides an in-depth review of the cyber security threats posed by smart technologies and identifies emerging trends to mitigate these threats. Drawing on an in-depth literature review and case studies, the study aims to identify the key weaknesses of smart technologies and suggest proactive measures to mitigate them. The results of the study led to the proposed design of an architecture to address the identified cyber security challenges.
