Cybersecurity as a Contributor Toward Resilient Internet of Things (IoT) Infrastructure and Sustainable Economic Growth

This paper investigates the contribution of the various cybersecurity domains to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing the critical role of cybersecurity in advancing sustainable economic growth and resilient IoT infrastructure. The paper also examines specific use cases on how cybersecurity measures and practices can contribute to achieving SDG 8 and SDG 9 focused on decent work and economic growth and industry, innovations, and infrastructure. In the context of SDG 8 the use case of a smart agriculture network was examined, whereas for SDG 9, the use case focuses on a smart factory processing raw materials. An analysis of the prioritization of the several cybersecurity domains following the MoSCoW method is also presented. This paper offers valuable insights and guidance for enhancing corporate resilience and economic benefits in the Internet of Things (IoT) aligning with the SDGs and contributing to a more sustainable and resilient future for the IoT.
