Abstract With the boost of technologies in computing, the Internet of things (IoT), and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the demand for using drones has been increased in real-world applications. Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones can be used to complete a wide range of different tasks from the military to the industry with numerous studies available in the literature. However, the broad use of drones for smart cities also faces several technical, societal issues such as cybersecurity, privacy, and public safety that need to be concerned. This chapter briefly provides a general overview of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and cyber-attacks through a meta-analysis of relevant literature review towards drones such as Wi-Fi security, drone networking security, malicious software, and the like. Moreover, several countermeasures are explained in this chapter including detection methods and defense mechanisms to protect drones from their security vulnerabilities. Importantly, this paper raises cybersecurity awareness for users and presents solutions for future research in this area of interest. In fact, most cybersecurity vulnerabilities are based on sensors, communication links, and privacy via photos. Therefore, to ensure the security of drones, there is a need for a combination of the solutions for multiple sensors, the use of safe communication links instead of Wi-Fi, and the application of the CIA triad concepts. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
