Abstract: The rapid urbanization and escalating population growth are placing unprecedented pressure on urban infrastructure, prompting the necessity for smart city initiatives leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. This paper critically evaluates the integration of IoT applications within smart cities, emphasizing security and privacy as key challenges. By reviewing relevant research, it highlights the significance of maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive data generated by IoT devices, thereby enhancing user trust and service effectiveness. The study also explores the roles of visual communication, graphic technology, and photographic technology in supporting IoT applications, including multimedia surveillance and data visualization for improved decision-making and operational efficiency. It further identifies and discusses practical methodologies for ensuring cybersecurity and user privacy, recommending collaborative efforts among government entities, technology providers, and security specialists. The findings stress the importance of adaptable and secure systems capable of mitigating financial, informational, and reputational risks associated with cybersecurity incidents. Future research directions include refining AI-driven cybersecurity solutions and addressing emerging vulnerabilities in IoT-enabled smart city infrastructures.
