Abstract
As the digital landscape continues to embrace IoT technologies for their transformative potential, the security and privacy of these networks become paramount. This chapter delves into the critical realm of securing long-range-wide-area-network (LoRaWAN) within the context of IoT applications. Focusing on LoRaWAN, this chapter comprehensively examines the challenges that arise in safeguarding sensitive data. A thorough analysis of the diverse range of devices within these networks and potential vulnerabilities is shown. It also sheds light on the nuanced cybersecurity considerations stemming from LoRaWAN's unique characteristics, such as long-range communication and low-power requirements. By surveying existing research and frameworks, the chapter offers valuable insights into mitigation strategies and best practices. With the overarching goal of enhancing industrial cybersecurity and promoting responsible IoT deployment, this chapter serves as a guide for stakeholders, industry professionals, and policymakers alike.
