Cybersecurity and Advanced Electronics: Current Challenges in Protecting Infrastructures through Emerging Technology

Abstract

The accelerated advancement of digital technology and its integration into critical infrastructures has generated new opportunities, but also significant risks in terms of cybersecurity. Advanced electronics, being an essential part of interconnected systems such as power grids, transport systems and healthcare services, become a vulnerable target against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. This article addresses the main current challenges in infrastructure protection, considering the role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum cryptography, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). A recent literature review is carried out and strategies are proposed to increase cyber resilience and reduce vulnerabilities in critical systems.
