EXPERT-BASED ASSESSMENT OF CRITICAL SECURITY THREATS IN SMART HOME CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS

Topicality. Smart home systems are becoming increasingly popular as they offer homeowners many benefits, such as increased convenience, energy efficiency, and improved security. However, these systems can also pose potential security risks if not properly secured. Detecting threats in a smart home system is crucial for protecting personal data, preventing physical security breaches and cyberattacks, and ensuring the proper functioning of the system. The article examines the assessment of the most dangerous threats to the cyber-physical system of a smart home. The process was carried out by conducting an in-depth examination based on a wide list of threats, taking into account their impact on security services. All threats were identified according to their source according to the concept of double-circuit security. The subject of the article is the methods of expert assessment of critical security threats in cyber-physical systems of a smart home. The purpose of the study is to identify and classify the most dangerous security threats to cyber-physical systems of a smart home based on expert assessment. As a results, the most critical threats to cyber-physical systems of a smart home were identified and the basis for developing algorithms for their effective prevention was formed. Conclusions. As a result of the expert assessment, the most critical threats to cyber-physical systems of a smart home were identified, which creates the basis for developing effective methods for their prevention and risk minimization.
