Abstract

The rise of smart cities brings increased interconnectivity, but also new security vulnerabilities, especially among IoT devices. This study investigates methods for improving cybersecurity in smart cities by implementing IoT device management protocols. We examine approaches such as network segmentation and secure authentication to mitigate common threats, thus providing a safer environment for urban digital infrastructure.
