Abstract: The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced new cybersecurity challenges, as the increasing number of connected devices expands the attack surface for cyber threats. This paper explores the cybersecurity threats associated with IoT and examines potential solutions to mitigate these risks. The study discusses the vulnerabilities of IoT devices, such as weak authentication, insufficient encryption, and lack of regular updates. It also highlights the importance of robust security frameworks, including network segmentation, anomaly detection, and secure communication protocols. The findings emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to IoT cybersecurity that involves collaboration among manufacturers, developers, and users.
