Simulation of IoT-based Smart City of Darwin: Leading Cyber Attacks and Prevention Techniques

The Rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology made the world smarter as it has embedded deeply in several application areas such as manufacturing, homes, cities, and health etc. In the developed cities, millions of IoT devices are deployed to enhance the lifestyle of citizens. IoT devices increases the efficiency and productivity with time and cost efficiency in smart cities, on the other hand, also set an attractive often easy targets for cybercriminals by exposing a wide variety of vulnerabilities. Cybersecurity risks, if ignored can results as very high cost to the citizens and management as well. In this research, simulated IoT network of Darwin CBD has been used with different IoT simulation tools. The treacherous effects of vulnerable IoT environment are demonstrated in this research followed by implementation of security measures to avoid the illustrated threats.
