Abstract	Remote monitoring and control of critical infrastructure has emerged as a key strategy for optimizing the efficiency and performance of industrial systems, utilities, and smart cities. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and cloud computing, remote management provides real-time oversight and control over vital systems. These systems include power grids, water supply systems, transportation networks, and healthcare facilities, which are critical to the functioning of modern society. However, while remote monitoring offers significant operational benefits such as increased efficiency, predictive maintenance, and reduced operational costs, it also introduces new cybersecurity risks. The connectivity required for real-time monitoring and control exposes infrastructure to potential cyberattacks, which can compromise the safety, availability, and integrity of critical assets. This paper explores the balance between optimizing operational efficiency and mitigating cybersecurity threats in the context of remote monitoring of critical infrastructure. By identifying key security vulnerabilities and recommending best practices for secure remote management, this research aims to propose strategies to enhance cybersecurity without compromising operational benefits. The study discusses potential security challenges, solutions, and best practices necessary to ensure a resilient and secure critical infrastructure environment. The findings suggest that a holistic approach, combining advanced security protocols, encryption methods, and continuous monitoring, is essential for safeguarding these systems.
