Smart Building IoT Cybersecurity: A Review of Threats and Mitigation Technique

The popularity of smart buildings is increasing, thanks to their ability to enhance energy efficiency and provide comfortable environments for their occupants. However, with this increase in Internet of Things (IoT) technology comes a higher risk of cybersecurity threats. These threats can leave intelligent buildings vulnerable to attacks, so this research paper aims to identify their security risks comprehensively. Additionally, it provides various measures to strengthen security protocols against physical attacks, network-based incursions, and malicious assaults. These measures include access control, network segmentation, regular patching, and threat monitoring, all of which contribute to decreasing the susceptibility of intelligent buildings to cyber-attacks. Consequently, occupants and assets are protected from potential harm or loss. As we progress, it is essential to consistently prioritize IoT cybersecurity, which will continue to evolve through further research efforts to ensure continued effectiveness over time. [1]
