Abstract	This research presents a comprehensive framework to enhance the cybersecurity and efficiency of smart urban energy systems by integrating cutting-edge technologies. Leveraging advanced evolutionary optimization techniques, specifically Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES), the proposed system optimizes energy management and trading within urban infrastructure. Simultaneously, the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices enables real-time monitoring and decision-making, while blockchain technology ensures secure and transparent transactions. The study evaluates system performance by comparing it with traditional approaches, assessing key metrics such as convergence speed, exploration, exploitation, and cybersecurity. Results indicate that the proposed framework outperforms traditional systems in energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and cybersecurity metrics. This research offers valuable insights into integrating emerging technologies to address evolving challenges in smart urban energy systems. The findings highlight the potential of this innovative framework to revolutionize urban energy management, providing a foundation for more resilient, secure, and efficient smart cities. As the global urban landscape continues to evolve, this framework represents a strategic approach to meet the increasing demands for sustainable and secure urban energy solutions. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
