A Cybersecurity and Digital Risk Assessment: A Family Case Study

Digitalization is not limited merely to business companies and high-tech industries; it has increasingly changed families' behaviors and attitudes as they are exposed to the digital world using different technological aspects. Therefore, numerous risks can be raised between all members of the family. For example, if IoT devices in a smart home are not embedded with high-security standards, they would be vulnerable to being attacked by hackers. Cyberattacks will not be limited to attacking virtually, but also they could unlock the home's door from the phone, and accordingly, the criminal will enter the home, and they can lose much more than credit cards. In this paper we identified various types of risks, with providing an analysis about the vulnerabilities and protecting families from digital attackers.
