      abstract = {Modern cybersecurity issues emerged from the rapid expansion of Internet of Things devices because proper cyber hygiene measures require strong implementation. Secure operational integrity appears as a fundamental requirement to support increasing levels of innovative technology adoption in healthcare and education institutions alongside domestic and energy domains (Barakovi? & Barakovi? Husi?, 2023; Khurshid et al., 2023). The research examines how people relate to cyber hygiene for smart devices by studying their behaviours, cultural ranges, and technological shortcomings. Threat mitigation receives priority with user awareness and the essential adoption of cybersecurity education throughout different industrial sectors (Salem & Sobaih, 2023; Kamerer & McDermott, 2023; Alowais et al., 2023). The article maps evidence from 30 scholarly recent resources using IMRAD structure to review cyber hygiene frameworks such as Olivares-Rojas et al. (2023) and Ivanov et al. (2023) that describe practical applications for IoT risk management. Standards and evidence from 30 scholarly sources demonstrate that education programs and AI vulnerability detection systems and policy frameworks decrease risk exposure successfully. This synthesis combines practical knowledge with academic perspectives, which helps the security of IoT while supporting the evolution of resistant innovative technologies.},
