Information Security Governance using Artificial Intelligence of Things in Smart Environments

This book explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the Internet of Things (IoT) to address security challenges in smart environments. It delves into how AI enhances the governance of information security by automating processes, detecting threats, and ensuring the protection of data in interconnected IoT systems. It covers theoretical foundations, practical frameworks, and case studies, offering insights into securing smart cities, homes, industries, and healthcare systems. It also emphasizes governance models that leverage AI to manage security policies and risk in dynamic, data-driven ecosystems.

This title focuses on the study and application of AI of Things in the field of information security governance. Intelligent environments, characterized by increasing connectivity of devices and systems, present unique challenges for information security. The use of AI of Things offers opportunities to enhance security in these complex environments.
