IoT-enabled Smart Waste Management: Leveraging the Power of IoT for Sustainable Solutions

Cybersecurity considerations in the implementation of innovative waste management technologies: "A critical review"

“…This integration is not merely a technical challenge but a necessary response to the increasing sophistication of cyber threats targeting the infrastructure that underpins our society's ability to manage waste efficiently and sustainably. The advent of smart waste management solutions, as highlighted by Tandon and Bansal (2023), underscores the potential of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to revolutionize how cities handle waste. IoT-enabled devices can optimize collection routes, reduce operational costs, and enhance the overall efficiency of waste management systems.…”

“…As we move forward, the focus must be on developing and implementing waste management solutions that are not only efficient and sustainable but also resilient to the evolving landscape of cyber threats. The work of Tandon and Bansal (2023), Pintor, Godezano, and Abris (2019), and Belhadi et al (2020) provides valuable insights into the complexities of this integration, highlighting the need for a holistic approach that addresses both the technological innovations and the cybersecurity measures necessary to protect them. This intersection of cybersecurity and waste management technologies is crucial for ensuring that our efforts to create more sustainable and efficient waste management systems do not inadvertently expose our societies to new vulnerabilities.…”
