Abstract: The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has introduced significant challenges related to system scalability, interoperability, performance, and security. Traditional architectures often address IT infrastructure and risk management separately, leading to fragmented controls and increased vulnerability exposure. This paper proposes an integrated framework that unifies IT fundamentals with structured risk management processes to support secure, scalable, and resilient IoT environments. The framework is designed around key principles including modularity, interoperability, security-by-design, and fault tolerance, enabling seamless integration of heterogeneous devices and platforms. It incorporates edge and cloud computing for efficient data processing, along with continuous monitoring and proactive risk mitigation mechanisms. The framework is evaluated through use case analyses in smart city deployments, wireless cloud-based healthcare systems, and industrial IoT scenarios. The results indicate improved system performance, reduced latency, enhanced security, and effective risk reduction across all use cases. The study demonstrates that integrating risk management directly into IT architecture significantly improves operational reliability and adaptability. The proposed framework provides a practical foundation for developing robust IoT systems capable of supporting complex, large-scale digital ecosystems.

Abstract: The rapid proliferation of cloud-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) systems has transformed modern infrastructure, enabling real-time data collection, intelligent automation, and interconnected services across domains such as smart cities, healthcare, and industrial IoT. However, the increasing complexity and interdependence of these systems also expose them to invisible risks latent, cascading, and systemic vulnerabilities that are often overlooked by conventional risk management approaches. This paper presents a comprehensive IT risk management framework designed to detect, assess, and mitigate such hidden risks in cloud-enabled IoT environments. The framework integrates real-time data analytics, anomaly detection, and proactive mitigation strategies to improve system resilience and operational reliability. A case study in a smart city scenario demonstrates the framework’s effectiveness, showing significant improvements in risk coverage, mitigation efficiency, and stakeholder confidence compared to baseline methods. The results highlight the critical importance of addressing invisible risks to ensure secure, reliable, and resilient IoT-enabled systems.

Abstract: Cyber incidents vary significantly in the mechanisms, targets, and economic impacts they have, so it is significant to determine the factors which are connected to the severity and the economic effects of the incident. This paper is a data-driven analysis of world cybersecurity incidents, 2015-2024 (N=3000), focusing on contextual factors, e.g. country, type of attack, industry, source of attack, type of vulnerability, defensive mechanism, and operational outcomes, e.g. time to resolve the incident, victims, and financial loss (million USD). To surface patterns of incident occurrence and severity-linked outcomes, we describe the threat landscape in the first instance by exploratory distributional analysis, and in the second instance by relational analysis. We subsequently create a financial loss predictive pipeline by estimating a mixed data (categorical encoding and train/test analysis) predictor using common preprocessing of mixed data and a comprehensible baseline regression model. The combination of the empirical and benchmark results allows a clear point of departure to quantitative cyber risk profiling, showing which incident characteristics are too correlated with severity and defining a repeatable baseline to proceed with more detailed features and non-linear modelling methods in future studies.

Abstract: Loan utilization tracking is an important element of responsible lending to ensure that borrowers utilize loan funds strictly for their intended purposes. Traditional monitoring techniques such as physical inspections, manual reporting, and post-disbursement audits are often slow, expensive, and prone to inaccuracies. With the rapid growth of mobile technology, digital finance platforms have transformed loan monitoring through mobile applications, GPS tagging, cloud-based dashboards, digital receipts, photo/video verification, USSD/SMS reporting, and AI-based analysis. This survey paper provides an in-depth review of existing mobile-based loan utilization tracking approaches, studies their benefits in reducing fraud, examines their effectiveness in improving transparency and repayment rates, and analyzes challenges such as privacy issues, digital literacy, and connectivity limitations. The paper also proposes a robust mobile-based framework for lenders to track loan utilization efficiently and discusses future innovations including blockchain, biometric authentication, and advanced analytics to strengthen monitoring systems.
