Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic of "Cybersecurity and Internet of Things (IoT)" encompasses the intersection of two critical areas in the modern digital landscape. Cybersecurity focuses on safeguarding systems, networks, and data from digital attacks, unauthorized access, and malicious activities, aiming to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.
In the context of IoT, which refers to the network of physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity that enable them to collect and exchange data, cybersecurity plays a pivotal role in ensuring the secure operation and communication of these interconnected devices.
The increasing integration of IoT devices into various aspects of daily life, including smart homes, healthcare systems, industrial automation, and transportation, has amplified the importance of addressing cybersecurity challenges within the IoT ecosystem. This includes considerations for securing device communication, data encryption, access control, authentication, and resilience against potential cyber threats. Moreover, the vast amount of data generated by IoT devices poses additional cybersecurity concerns, such as data privacy, data integrity, and protection against unauthorized access.
The topic of "Cybersecurity and Internet of Things (IoT)" delves into the critical strategies, technologies, and best practices essential for ensuring the security and integrity of interconnected devices and the data they generate, ultimately contributing to the establishment of a trustworthy and resilient IoT environment in the digital era.
