Abstract: Wishing to be more friendly to their citizens and to be managed more efficiently, cities are using a variety of modern ICT solutions for their needs. In this way, the smart city concept is being implemented, using, among others, the Internet of Things (IoT), which will become a key tool to improve the functioning of urban agglomerations. This idea develops very dynamically and creates tremendous opportunities for smart cities. But in addition to the benefits it brings, it also creates serious threats, primarily for privacy and personal data protection. Its applications improve our lives but also create new forms of risk and become the challenge for security architects. The purpose of this paper is to review selected applications of the Internet of Things in the context of the smart city and to describe the cybersecurity threats resulting from widening access of new devices to the network in this area.
