Abstract:
Modern cities are increasingly adopting information technologies and becoming
“smart”. It is important to note that with the development of technology, the potential for cyber
attacks also increases. This paper examines the significant problem of wireless network cybersecurity
in smart cities of Kazakhstan. The study proposes a comprehensive penetration testing approach
to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in wireless networks. This approach includes a strategy that
promotes security in the smart city ecosystem and supports Kazakhstan’s overall efforts to protect
urban infrastructure. Particular attention is paid to the vulnerabilities of wireless networks, which
are a key element of the infrastructure of smart cities. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach to penetration testing aimed at identifying vulnerabilities in the wireless networks of smart
cities. This approach includes various stages, starting with collecting information about the target
system and ending with a detailed report on the identified vulnerabilities. The research results can
contribute to enhancing cybersecurity in smart cities in Kazakhstan and the development of effective
strategies for protection against cyberattacks.
