Abstract: This research explores the intricacies of implementing and securing Internet of Things (IoT) technology in Saudi Arabian startups. In the middle of Saudi Arabia's ambitious pursuit of social and economic progress via IoT breakthroughs, entrepreneurs have emerged as critical participants grappling with serious computing security challenges. This study conducts a thorough examination of the cybersecurity risks associated with start-up in Saudi Arabia’s IoT applications, technologies and innovations by reviewing a wide range of publications. The key objectives are to identify the main cybersecurity risks, analyze the impact of IoT device networking on privacy and security, and propose strategies to mitigate these threats. Furthermore, the study stresses the importance of funding up-to-date security technologies, cooperation with the cyber experts, and shifting towards the cloud-based security. Also, the study identifies the importance of cybersecurity education and training to enhance the defensive mechanisms of the startups against cyber threats. This study provides novel insights by identifying the distinct cybersecurity obstacles encountered by IoT-enabled businesses in Saudi Arabia and proposing a complete framework to enhance their security architecture. Robust cybersecurity policies are vital for both unleashing the transformative potential of IoT for startups and guiding Saudi Arabia towards its objective of being a worldwide leader in IoT. This paper advocates for a cooperative strategy that involves policymakers, industry stakeholders, and entrepreneurs to prioritize and allocate resources towards a safe and robust IoT ecosystem. This would help promote economic development and innovation in the country.
