With the spread of 5G networks and the development of the Internet of things, the scale of the threat will increase, and connected cars or life support systems of the city can become victims of cyberattacks.

According to Kaspersky information security experts, mobile investment applications, which are gaining popularity in different countries, will also not be ignored by cybercriminals in 2020.

More than 80% of new buildings contain at least some elements of the Internet of Things (IoT), but the rapid growth of smart cities does not have time to improve their protection systems against cybercrime attacks.

At the same time, experts are concerned that smart cities are actively growing, and their protection systems are still underdeveloped.

Many smart devices and systems do not have reliable authentication protocols or are not protected at all by any security solutions.
